Question
I have this function. I'm using a struct (I have to use one) and I can't get anything to be read from the infile.struct EmpType
{
string employee;
string employeeName;
double sal;
double tax;
};
void ReadFile(const int MAXI, int& i, double& salSum, EmpType emp[])
{
ifstream myInFile; // file from which to read
string inFileName; //name of file to ask user
cout << "Enter file name to open file including extension" << endl; //prompt user
cin >> inFileName; //reads in file name
myInFile.open(inFileName.c_str());
while (!myInFile) // to check file opened correctly
{
cout << "Enter file name to open file" << endl; //prompt user again
cin >> inFileName;
myInFile.open(inFileName.c_str());
}
while (myInFile.eof()) //search for end of file
{
getline(myInFile, emp[i].employeeName);
myInFile >> emp[i].sal >> emp[i].employee; // Saves the double in array amd saves string of employee id in array
salSum = salSum + emp[i].sal; // computes sum of salaries as they are read.
i++;
if (i > MAXI) // make sure to not take up more space than allowed
break;
}
myInFile.close();//close in file
}
My inFile looks like this

basically a line (getline is used to get the) name, then the next like has the salary and then the employee id.
Explanation / Answer
Hope it's this simple. while (myInFile.eof()) should be while (!myInFile.eof())
