reading from a file into an array

[Holly Benton]

Basic 3 stuff.

Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2, Windowz XP Pro

Basic code I just moved to a clean compllier to run and fix what i needed to fix.

I am haveing problems with reading from a file and storing the infomation to a struct.
I get the program to read and print out on the screen ( that is how i test to make sure it opens).

I also have some code after the file to make sure that it prints out after the file. the code between that and the inData.seekg(0); is my problem. I have posted my recent one.

this is no error message, but when i compile it it just ends at the end of the file and does not print out the bottom message.

trying to print info from the struct.

thanks for helping, i think i got everthing.

cout << "total customers: " << total_customer << endl;

    inData.close();  //closes the file
    //needs to be able to close 
    //dose not right now

}

alright i tried

compiles but now is stuck on an infinet loop with the first name in the text file.

while(!inData.eof())
{
getline(inData, line);
cout << line << endl;
for(counter =0; counter < 100; counter++)
{
inData >> customer.name
>> customer.amount;
// >> customer.registered;
total_customer++;
}

    }

cout << endl; //adds some space between the echo text
cout << endl; //file and the averages.
// Must clear the end-of-file flag to be able to rewind and re-read from the beginning.
inData.clear();
// 'Rewind' the input stream to the beginning - i.e. byte 0
inData.seekg(0);

cout << "total customers: " << total_customer << endl;
cout << "total amount: " << total_amount << endl;
cout << "\n" << endl;

cout << "total amount of customers: " << total_customer << endl;
cout << "name: " << customer.name << endl;
cout << "amount: " << customer.amount << endl;
//cout << "type: " << customer.type << endl;
cout << "\n" << endl;

thanks

the bank.txt file is just a basic file like this

Name
amount
type

Ron Harold
1467.45
Checking

Tiffany Mace
345.23
Credit Card

Thanks

i have tried

no error when i check, but when i compile it is stuck on an infitle loop with hello.

while(inData)
{
cout << "hello" << endl;
for(counter =0; counter < 100; counter++)
{
inData >> customer.name
>> customer.amount;
// >> customer.registered;
total_customer++;
}
// Must clear the end-of-file flag to be able to rewind and re-read from the beginning.
inData.clear();
// 'Rewind' the input stream to the beginning - i.e. byte 0
inData.seekg(0);
}

cout << "total customers: " << total_customer << endl;

inData.close(); //closes the file
//needs to be able to close
//dose not right now
}

tried this one does the same thing

no error when i check, but when i compile it is stuck on an infitle loop with hello.

while(!inData.eof())
{
cout << "hello" << endl;
for(counter =0; counter < 100; counter++)
{
inData >> customer.name
>> customer.amount;
// >> customer.registered;
total_customer++;
}
// Must clear the end-of-file flag to be able to rewind and re-read from the beginning.
inData.clear();
// 'Rewind' the input stream to the beginning - i.e. byte 0
inData.seekg(0);
}

so i am guessing that it is the second while(!inData.eof()) that is wrong.

Reading it and saving it to the struct at the same time should work right? researching it now.

Thanks
