Reading a file with 2 variables

0 111111112 20 100
1 5555 4 A
1 5556 4 B

0 111111111 44 90
1 4444 4 A
1 4443 3 A

How am I supposed to differentiate lines of text like this? The lines starting with 0 are students followed by their student number and 2 other variables

The 1s are the courses the student has taken, the credit hours and their grades.

Obviously I do something with infile, but I don't understand how I'm supposed to differentiate between the two when it is reading. I would just like a kick start to gain a understanding.

I've done it when it was just a single variable like every line started with a first and last name so you just read through it.

Are you using C or C++? Maybe something like this:

if (line[0] == '0')
{
    ... process student ...
}
else if (line[1] == '1')
{
    ... process course ...
}

Sorry, I'm using C++, I'll take a look at this.

Thanks.

It's pretty easy with C++. Just use getline on the file and use the code I showed you to process differently depending on the first char.
