I've started to learn c++ and I need a way to read a file line by line directly from stdin. Now what I've tried is this:
freopen("input.txt", "r", stdin);
string buffer;
vector<int> temp = {};
getline(cin, buffer);
for(int elem : buffer)
if(elem != ' ')
temp.push_back(elem - '0');
*dest = temp;
but when I run this code, the console waits for me to insert data via cli instead of reading it from stdin.
What can I do?

Timeless DEV post...
The most used technology by developers is not Javascript.
It's not Python or HTML.
It hardly even gets mentioned in interviews or listed as a pre-requisite for jobs.
I'm talking about Git and version control of course.

I'm not super familiar with modern C++ but I believe stdin's purpose is for getting input from the console/terminal. So I don't understand why you would read a file from stdin and in any case why you would redefine stdin. Maybe you're supposed to type something like this on the CLI:
myprogram < input.txtso that file
input.txtends up in the stdin for the program? That's all I can think of.When you didn't define any file as input or pipe from another app, keyboard input is your stdin.
