Question

istream has the >> operator, but it skips new lines like it skips whitespace. How can I get a list of all the words in 1 line only, into a vector (or anything else that’s convenient to use)?

Answer 1

One possibility (though considerably more verbose than I’d like) is:

std::string temp;
std::getline(your_istream, temp);

std::istringstream buffer(temp);
std::vector<std::string> words((std::istream_iterator<std::string>(buffer)),
                                std::istream_iterator<std::string>());
