input from file and getline function

[Rand22]

i have been having problems inputting some data from a file and i am clueless as to why i keep getting the output i do.

This is a partial part of my code but as you can see from my output for some unkown reason I am not inputting an entire line when i use the getline function

#include <iostream>     
   #include <string>
   #include <fstream>
   using namespace std;

string title;
string author;
string call_number;  
string status;
char C;

ifstream inFile;
inFile.open("FileName.txt");

while(!inFile.eof())
	{
	getline(inFile, title);
	getline(inFile, author);
	inFile >> C;
	inFile >> call_number;
	inFile >> status;
	inFile.ignore('\n');  //used to skip a line
	
	
	cout << title << endl;
	cout << author << endl;
	cout << call_number << endl;
	cout << status << endl;
                }

here is the file i am reading from

and the output i get is excluding the letters from only the first line.

>>while(!inFile.eof())
wrong way to code that loop while( getline(inFile, title) )

[Rand22]

>>while(!inFile.eof())
wrong way to code that loop while( getline(inFile, title) )

can someone plz explain what that condition means. Also simply the condition of that loop does not completly solve my problem. I am still not getting the correct output

getline() returns *this or NULL if end-of-file.

This seems to work. I changed it to use all std::string and getline(). See this thread for the code to flush the '\n'

while(getline(inFile, title))
{
    getline(inFile, author);
    getline(inFile,call_number);
    call_number = call_number.substr(1);
    getline( inFile, status);
    inFile.ignore ( std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), inFile.widen ( '\n' ) );
	
    cout << title << endl;
    cout << author << endl;
    cout << call_number << endl;
    cout << status << endl << "\n";
}
