file input using std::string.

It depends on what you mean, like others have said. Do you want to input to
a std::string, or read from a std::string?

Input to a std::string: (untested code)
#include <istream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
   std::ifstream Input("Myfile.ext");
   std::string Data;
   if ( std::getline( Input, Data ) )
      // Data now contains one line of text from the file. (deliminated by
'\n')
   if ( Input >> Data )
     // Data now contains one word form the file (delimited by white space)
}

Read from a std::string:
#include <sstream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
   std::string MyString( "This is some text\nJust to show an example" );
   std::stringstream MyStream;
   MyStream << MyString;
   std::string Data;
   if ( std::getline( MyStream, Data ) )
      // Data should now contain "This is some text"
   if ( MyStream >> Data )
      // Data should now contain "Just"

}
