Ok my problem is i have a struct and im tring to ready a line into the array of structs using fstream. here is the code i have its just a basic layout of what will come later on. but here it is :)
// file: main.cpp
// author: Kyle Kjorsvik
// date: 8/31/04
// class: CSIS 352
// This is the file that contains the main function for assignment 1.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include "date.h"
//#include "inout.h"
//#include "agecalc.h"
//#include "data.h"
using namespace std;
struct birthdate
{
char name[];
char bdate[];
};
int main()
{
char chrName[25];
int maxvalue = 10;
birthdate bd[maxvalue + 1];
int i = 0;
ifstream inFile("data"); // input file
if (inFile.fail())
{
cerr << "An error occurred. Unable to read input file." << endl;
exit(1);
}
cout << "File opened" << endl;
while(!inFile.eof())
{
inFile.get(bd[i].name[],25,",");
//cout << bd[i].name << endl;
++i;
}
inFile.close();
return 0;
}
and here is the file i am reading in
