There are several options for extracting values from a file and assigning them to variables in a C++ program. Here are three common methods:

1. Using input stream operators: You can use the input stream operators (>> and getline) to read values from a file and assign them to variables. For example, let's say you have a file called "data.txt" with the following format:

John Doe
25
3.14

You can use the input stream operators to extract these values and assign them to variables in your program like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
   ifstream infile("data.txt");
   string name;
   int age;
   double pi;

   infile >> name >> age >> pi;

   cout << "Name: " << name << endl; // output: Name: John Doe
   cout << "Age: " << age << endl; // output: Age: 25
   cout << "Pi: " << pi << endl; // output: Pi: 3.14

   infile.close();
   return 0;
}

1. Using getline() function: The getline() function can be used to read a line of data and then parse that line into individual values using other functions such as std::stoi() and std::stod(). Here’s an example:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
   ifstream infile("data.txt");
   string line;
   string name;
   int age;
   double pi;

   getline(infile, line);
   name = line;

   getline(infile, line);
   age = stoi(line);

   getline(infile, line);
   pi = stod(line);

   cout << "Name: " << name << endl; // output: Name: John Doe
   cout << "Age: " << age << endl; // output: Age: 25
   cout << "Pi: " << pi << endl; // output: Pi: 3.14

   infile.close();
   return 0;
}

1. Using the Boost Library: The Boost Library provides a set of functions for reading data from files and assigning them to variables. Here’s an example:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#include <boost/foreach.hpp>
#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost;

int main() {
   ifstream infile("data.txt");
   string line;
   string name;
   int age;
   double pi;

   getline(infile, line);
   name = line;

   getline(infile, line);
   age = lexical_cast<int>(line);

   getline(infile, line);
   pi = lexical_cast<double>(line);

   cout << "Name: " << name << endl; // output: Name: John Doe
   cout << "Age: " << age << endl; // output: Age: 25
   cout << "Pi: " << pi << endl; // output: Pi: 3.14

   infile.close();
   return 0;
}

Note: In all the above examples, we assume that the data in the file is in the correct format and matches the data type of the variable we are assigning it to. It is always a good practice to add error handling mechanisms to handle data that does not match the expected format.
