read data from file into structure ?

[tvn007]

I am using the following code to read data from input file into
structure.
Not sure it is the best way. Please comment or you have better way.
please let me kmow.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

struct Record_info {
string name;
double midterm;
double quiz;
double final;
}student ;
int main (void){

double grade;

ifstream in ("test2.txt" );
string line,word;
while (getline(in,lin e)){
istringstream anyname(line);

anyname>>studen t.name>>student .midterm>>stude nt.quiz>>studen t.final;
grade = student.quiz+ 10;
cout << student.name <<endl;
cout << student.midterm <<endl;
cout << student.quiz <<endl;
cout << student.final <<endl;
cout << "GRADE: "<<grade <<endl;
}
return 0;
}
/////////////////////// test2.txt

Looks fine to me, apart from the gratuitous use of a global variable.
Try this

struct Record_info {
string name;
double midterm;
double quiz;
double final;
};

int main()
{
...
while (getline(in,lin e))
{
istringstream anyname(line);
Record_info student;
anyname >> student.name >> student.midterm >>
student.quiz >> student.final;
...
}
...
}

Declare variables locally where you need them, not globally.
