If you want to read a file into a vector line by line:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    std::ifstream file("filename.txt");
    std::vector<std::string> vec;
    
    std::string line;
    while (std::getline(file, line));
        vec.push_back(line);
    
    for (const std::string& line : vec)
        std::cout << line << '\n';
    
    return 0;
}

If you want to read a file into a vector word by word:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    std::ifstream file("filename.txt");
    std::vector<std::string> vec;
    
    std::string word;
    while (file >> word);
        vec.push_back(word);
    
    for (const std::string& word : vec)
        std::cout << word << '\n';
    
    return 0;
}

Normally you read a file like this:

  ifstream inputFile("travel.txt");
  if (!inputFile)
  {
    // handle error
   return -1;
  }
  string word;
  while (inputFile >> word) // read word by word
  {
    // use line
  }

  //or
  string line;
  while (getline(inputFile, line)) // read line by line
  {
    // use input
  }

Forgot about error checking. Though wouldn't you normally use !file.is_open() to check if a file was not successfully opened?

Also, to the OP: Why did you delete everything in your original post and replace it with this?

this is the most egregious behavior that we come across on this forum, idiots!

There are different ways to check. You also could use if(!inputFile.fail())
