Here we have an application I have written that still needs some work. We will have to insert some lines of code to make it work for a vector or for a list. Starting at line five, we include the header files that will be useful in this application. First we have iostream and string. Next we have fstream which is for reading files. And finally, we have vector and list. In this application, we will read a whole file, which will have child entries as required and we will print out what we have read.
