c++ - A file reading function -

i need write function read file, , ideally store strings file vector of strings.

so far have this:

void loadcars() {     fstream carfile;     string car;     carfile.open("car.txt");     if (carfile.is_open()) {         while (getline(carfile, car)) {             cout << car << "\n";         }         carfile.close();     } else {         cout << "unable open file" << endl;     } } 

can me, need function read text file contains 4 strings:

car1
car2
car3
car4

and want read them , put them vector ideally. cout purely me trying test works, unable open file.

and ideally store strings file vector of strings.

just extend function follows, collect results in vector:

void loadcars(std::vector<std::string>& result) {     result.clear();     fstream carfile;     string car;     carfile.open("car.txt");     if (carfile.is_open()) {         while (getline(carfile, car)) {             result.push_back(car);             cout << car << "\n";         }         carfile.close();     } else {         cout << "unable open file" << endl;     } } 

as problems opening file, might happen because file isn't available in programs current working directory (check debug settings), or don't have access right on it.
