You would need to tokenize each line which would give you your "columns" then go through your tokens and add the columns to your arrays.

It seems to be quite easy, so the question is: what have you tried so far?

You can read lines with File.ReadAllLines() which will give you an array of strings (lines).

You can split the line with line.Split(' ') where line is a line from the above array of lines and you are splitting on spaces, which will give you a array of words fro the lines.

You should be able to do what you want from there.

[Edit - my apologies for not seeing the c++]
For c++ see this for reading lines : http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/74757/[^]
and this for splitting : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5888022/split-string-by-single-spaces[^]
