Read integers from coupled lines in a text file

I'm trying to read a text file formatted as in this example:



5 3
3 1 5
6 6
6 1 3 2 5 4


Where the lines are coupled, with the line above always being of length equal to 2 and the line below having length equal to the the last digit in the line above.



(Unfortunately this is from an old note I took and I don't remember what those numbers are actually supposed to mean, so I'm limiting myself to store them in a multidimensional vector form where they can be easily recovered).



In the beginning I was tring to read the digit which represents the length below to execute a loop of finite length, but in the end this is the code I wrote:



#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
int main()
{
std::string filname="data/file01.txt";
std::ifstream file01(filname);
std::vector<std::vector<int>> v;
std::string line;
while(getline(file01,line))
{
std::stringstream ls;
ls<<line;
int c;
std::vector<int> t;
while(!ls.eof())
{
ls>>c;
t.push_back(c);
}
v.push_back(t);
}
return 0;
}


This gives me a 2-dimensional vector that can be easily accessed, but I don't like having to convert both the file and each string to a stream and I don't like using nested vectors.



Is there a way to achieve this goal with more simple and elegant code (even if it means to lose make the code more specific)?
