Hi, Thank you for your reply... Yes, I saw the Boost Graph Library but still I have some concerns... Will I be able to convert a huge text file to a graph with millions of nodes and edges? Can I store the graph somewhere in the hard disk and then upload it whenever I test my code (i.e. I don't have to convert the text file into a graph each time I run my program).

Hello,

I'm a phd student. I'm working in the graph mining field. I have a huge text file that I would like to convert to a graph. Then, I will write some code to implement my algorithm (something similar to shortest paths algorithms). I'm planning to write my code in C++. Do you think Boost will suit me?

Hard to say without knowing more about what you need to do :)

Boost does have a library for working with graphs, the Boost Graph Library [1]. Take a look at it and see whether it fits your needs.

Regards, Nate
