I am working on an assignment that requires me to read in a text file with text that looks like this
974 Headlight_LoBeam 6 12.87 5 3I am able to open the file successfully and just for testing purposes I am able to use getline() to get the first line of the file. My issue is that when I am trying to get each line and add the data into my struct I am not getting the proper data. I am sure it is something simple that I am missing but I have yet to figure it out. To clarify I cannot use getline() to get the full line and then parse out the info I want into my struct. I have to use the "myfile >>" way of doing this according to my assignment. I do not get any compile errors. Here is the code currently. Currently the while loop is set only to run once to avoid a long list of incorrect data. Once I can get the data into the struct I will change the while loop to run for all the lines in the text file.

}Here is the current output:

Press [Enter] to close the terminal ...Thanks for any help in advance.
