Problem reading string from input file then subsequent integers

[rtngolem]

Hi this is part of a function that reads in data and stores in into vectors

the input looks like

CL905 1 2
SB11 2 3
SB12 2 7 4 5
SB13 2 6 4

now when i run this code the output i get that uses this code is
CL905 1 2
CL905 1 2
CL905 1 2


now i've checked the out put code and its find whats wrong is it keeps taking in the first line of code. Any help?

for(int i = 0; i < placesamount; i++){
fin >> service.name;
cout << " in " << service.name << endl;

while( fin >> place ){



service.AddPosition(place);

}

service.AddPosition(0);
Service.push_back(service);


}

I can't tell unless I know what the definiton service.name and place are.

Almost certainly, the >> operator encounted a byte that couldn't be part of the variable being extracted, so the error flag is set which effectively disables all further >> operations.

service is an object of this class and place is just an int varible that i'm pusing into the town vector
 
i populate service then i push it into another vector. 
class Services{
public:
    Services();
 
vector<int> town;
 
string name;
 
 
 
void AddPosition(int postion);
 
 
 
 

Anyway i came up with a new solution
It's ugly but it works

  for(int i = 0; i < placesamount; i++){
    fin >> service.name;
    cout << " in " << service.name << endl;
    service.town.clear();
 
    newcycle = true;
    other = "z";
 
    while(fin.get(pl) && pl != '\n'){
 
 
        if(pl != ' '){
 
        rest = pl;
 
        }    
 
 
 
 
 
            other =    rest;
 
 
            if(other == repeat){
            repeatcount++;
            }
            if(other != repeat || repeatcount > 2){
            repeatcount = 0;
            place = atoi(other.c_str());
 
            if(place > 0){
            cout << place << endl;
                service.AddPosition(place);
 
                repeat = other;
 
 
            }
 
            }
 
 
 
 
 
        //service.AddPosition(place);
 
 
    }
 
    service.town.push_back(0);
 
Service.push_back(service);
 
}

You never told me tjhe type of place.

However, service.name is a string so

cin>> service.name

would fetch CL905 and then stop at the space.

That would require place to be an int.

When you get to the \n

cin>> service.name

extracts nothing.

Then you are back to cin>> place with a \n in the input buffer and that will set the fail flag and disable further cin>> operations.

Using cin.get() is is only way to work around this.
