Reading several records from sequential files

[huibien]

My program is up and running with no errors whatsoever the problem it is only displaying a single record from the text file instead of all the records that i have done...

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
 
#include <string.h>

you did not have a loop to read sucessive records, it should be something like

        ifstream infile("patient.txt"); 
        if(infile.is_open())
            {        
            while(infile.good())  // ** read while file is good()
              {
              double fee;  // ** added
              infile >> number; 
                    if(!infile.good())break;  // ** if first read fails break out of loop
                cout << number << endl; 
                infile >> myPatient.name; 
                cout << name << endl; 
                infile >> myPatient.DOB;
                cout << DOB << endl;
                infile >> myPatient.sex;
                cout << sex<<endl;
                infile >> myPatient.residence;
                 cout << residence<<endl;
                infile >> fee;  // ** added
                cout << fee << endl << endl;  // ** added
             }
        infile.close(); // **moved outside loop
       }
        else {
 
        cout<<"Unable to open file: "<<endl;}
