You need to go into more detail. But consider using a class to hold a =
representation of a line of the log file,

class LogFileRow
{
private :
   std::string elem1 ;
   std::string elem2 ;
  // etc
public :
   LogFileRow ( const std::string& rawrow )
   {
      // extract elements from raw row
   }
} ;

And then you could store your rows in a vector

std::vector rows ;

And read the file like this,

std::ifstream is ( "MyFileName" ) ; std::string sbuf ;
while ( is.good )
{
   is.getline ( sbuf ) ;
   rows.push_back ( LogFileRow ( sBuf )) ;
}

But it's probably worth considering which elements you want to store and =
what a natural way to store them is, for instance there's no point in =
storing times or IP addresses as strings, convert them in LogFileRow.

I'm guessing some of the stuff above looks a bit odd...

You need to go into more detail. But consider using =
a class to=20
hold a representation of a line of the log file,
 
class =
LogFileRow
{
private =
:
   =
std::string=20
elem1 ;
   =
std::string=20
elem2 ;
  // =
etc
public =
:
   =
LogFileRow (=20
const std::string& rawrow )
   =
{
      // extract
elements from raw=20 row
   =
}
} =
;
 
And then you could store your rows in a =
vector
 
std::vector<LogFileRow>=20
rows ;
 
And read the file like this,
 
std::ifstream =
is (=20
"MyFileName" ) ;
std::string =
sbuf=20
;
while ( is.good =

)
{
   =
is.getline (=20
sbuf ) ;
   =
rows.push_back (=20
LogFileRow ( sBuf )) ;
}
 
But it's probably worth considering which elements =
you want to=20
store and what a natural way to store them is, for instance there's no = point in=20
storing times or IP addresses as strings, convert them in=20
LogFileRow.
 
I'm guessing some of the stuff above looks a bit=20
odd...
