Ok, my problem is that I'm reading from a file 3 values, a last name, first name and salary, for example: Key Bobby 43000
I have an array of objects for each person, so I neeed to read this file and assign the last name, first name, and salary to the appropriate variable. I've been out of C++ since April. I'm trying to do this for my Dad's business and I'm rusty. I have some debug statements in there to see if I'm actually inputing values. As of now I do not know what to pass to the set functions in my while loop because I don't want it to be to ineffecient. Any help is appreciated, I may be totally wrong with what I'm doing, let me know.

My header so far.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class Employee
{
   string first_name, // Employee first name
          last_name;  // Employee last name
   float  salary;     // Monthly salary amount received
public:
   // Employee's constructors
          Employee();

   // Set member variables
   void   set_first_name(string employee_first_name);
   void   set_last_name (string employee_first_name);
   void   set_salary    (float monthly_salary);

   // Get member variables
   string get_first_name() {return first_name;}
   string get_last_name () {return last_name;}
   float  get_salary    () {return salary;}

   void print_employee_info();
};

Employee::Employee()
{
   first_name = '\0';
   last_name  = '\0';
   salary     = 0.0f;
}

void Employee::set_first_name(string employee_first_name)
{
	first_name = employee_first_name;
}

void Employee::set_last_name(string employee_last_name)
{
	last_name = employee_last_name;
}

void Employee::set_salary(float monthly_salary)
{
	if(monthly_salary > 0.0f)
		salary = monthly_salary;
	else
		salary = 0.0f;
}
