Answer 1

std::ifstream infile;
infile.open("Textfile.txt", std::ios::binary);
infile.seekg(0, std::ios::end);
size_t file_size_in_byte = infile.tellg();
std::vector<char> data; // used to store text data
data.resize(file_size_in_byte);
infile.seekg(0, std::ios::beg);
infile.read(&data[0], file_size_in_byte);
