Variable Names using input File

[Archa4]

So I have an imput file. I'm reading information from it line by line. Each line consists of a number and a string value. Later I have to read another text file and change the strings, that contain those numbers to the ones provided in the first file.
I wanted to do this, but I don't know if it's even possible:
for each line i read in the first file I create a new variable, that contains those numbers that are given in the line. For example i have line
"122 CEO"
and i want to create a variable
String str122 = "CEO";
Is this possible, if yes, then how?

I would use a std::map<std::string, std::string> with the key being the name and the value being, well, the value. ;)

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std; 


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	string str1 = "This is the string no 239 will have to find out";
	string str = "STR";
	int len = str1.length();
	for( int i = 0 ; i < len; i++ )
	{
		if( isdigit(str1[i]))
			str +=str1[i];

	}
	cout<<"\n str = "<<str;
	return 0;
}

I tried to use map, I have something like this:
map<string, string> array;
and then i get information inside the map like this:
while (!input_file.eof())
{
getline(input_file, buf);
number_str = buf.substr(0, 3);
number_str = "#" + number_str;
cout << number_str;
str = buf.substr(4, buf.length());
array[number_str] = str;
}

Question is - how do i get the values later out of this map? Or am I doing something completely wrong here?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To answer my own question:
to access the values you have to use something like this:
str = array[#002];

Or in my situation I use:
while ((off=txt.find("#", off))!=string::npos)
{
str = txt.substr(off, 4);
txt.replace(off, 4, array[str]);
}

Is this correct or should I change something?

You should use a map<string, string>::iterator and start it at array.begin(), then keep incrementing it with ++ until it equalsarray.end(). You can use YourIterator->first to get the key and YourIterator->second to get the value. You should only use this if you want to find out what all is in your map and don't already know.

Rather than this...

while (!input_file.eof())
{
    getline(input_file, buf);
    // ...
}

...you should have this:

while (getline(input_file, buf))
{
    // ...
}

The reason is that you should only use the input after you checked to see if the getline() function succeeded.
