Having trouble trying to read characters from a file into a 2D array. I know this topic has been discussed before but your help will be greatly appreciated. I know there is more efficient ways of writing the entire code but im not that familiar with programing. Any suggestions are welcome.Getting an error at both the getline calls.
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
char filename[50];
ifstream file;
char inf [22] [80];
int rows = 0;
int cols = 0;
int main()
{
cout<< "Enter the name of the file: ";
cin.getline(filename,50);
file.open(filename);
if (!file.is_open()){
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
while(!file.eof() && rows<22 && cols<80) {
getline(file,inf[rows][cols]);
if(cols == 80)
{
cols=0;
++rows;
getline(file,inf[rows] [cols]);
}
cols++;
}
}
