Adding data from a file into a class variable

crimsonzero2 (213)
Hello everyone. I am trying to add data from a file that would go into a class that would later go into a vector of a class. I'm not really sure how to do it exactly. Here is the code:

      //prints out the champion name and its items
      void print();
      //sends the data to file

What is the problem you are having? Is it reading data from a file? Is it storing that data in class members? Is it storing objects in a vector?

We're not mind-readers. You have to be clear about what it is that you want help with.
