C++, String

[calculus87]

Okay, quick question.
I have a text file with a list of words. I need each word to become a variable. So for example, I have in the text file: word1, word2, word3. Now I import them into a vector<string>. Now is there any way for me to overload that vector so as to make each word that I imported become a variable?

I could then say something like
word1 + word2 * word3. where each of these words is of type double.

Okay, thanks for your time and effort
Sincerely,
Ronald

Im pretty sure you can't do this but something similar that you could do is import them into a map, where the key is the string you import and the value is a double (you didnt say if this was an imported value or otherwise but it shouldnt matter).

example:

	map<string, double> myMap;
	myMap["Word1"] = 5.03;
	myMap["Word2"] = 2.0;
	myMap["Word3"] = myMap["Word1"] * myMap["Word2"];
	cout<<myMap["Word3"]<<endl;

hope this helps
