Read file from txt using 2d vectors

c++, vector

Solution

Your vector `data` is empty, its `size()` is 0. You have to `resize` it first or add new elements by using `push_back()`:

while (!myReadFile.eof()) {    
    for(int i = 0; i < 1; i++){
        vector<string> tmpVec;
        string tmpString

        for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++){
            myReadFile  >> tmpString;
            tmpVec.push_back(tmpString);
        }
        data.push_bac(tmpVec);
    }
}

You could also set the size right at the declaration of `data`:

vector<vector<string>> data(5,vector<string>(4));

ifstream myReadFile;
myReadFile.open("stoixeia_astheni.txt");

while (!myReadFile.eof()) {

    for(int i=0; i < 5; i++){
        for (int j=0; j<4; j++){
            myReadFile  >> data[i][j];
        }
    }

}

Problem

Is it possible to use the operator [] in case of 2d vectors? For example i got the following code: ``` vector<vector<string>> data; ifstream myReadFile; myReadFile.open("stoixeia_astheni.txt"); while (!myReadFile.eof()) { for(int i=0; i<1; i++){ for (int j=0; j<4; j++){ myReadFile >> data[i][j]; } } } ``` I got message out of range. I have a file with 5 lines and 4 columns.
