String vectors not working as expected with newline and iterators? (C++)
- by kevin
I have a text file made of 3 lines:
Line 1
Line 3
(Line 1, a blank line, and Line 3)
vector<string> text;
vector<string>::iterator it;
ifstream file("test.txt");
string str;
while (getline(file, str))
{
if (str.length() == 0)
str = "\n";
// since getline discards the newline character, replacing blank strings with newline
text.push_back(str);
} // while
for (it=text.begin(); it < text.end(); it++)
cout << (*it);
Prints out:
Line 1
Line 3
I'm not sure why the string with only a newline was not printed out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
