loading from a file syntax question

[snafu2480]

I'm trying to load from a file i was just wondering if anyone can see if there are any syntax errors
P.S. my save part of the code works.
thanks in advance for help

ofstream myfile;
ifstream load_file("Game save.txt");
string line;
 
class BadConversion : public std::runtime_error {
public:
  BadConversion(const std::string& line)
    : std::runtime_error(line)
    { }
};
 
inline double convertToDouble(const std::string& line)
{
  std::istringstream i(line);
  double x;
  if (!(i >> x))
    throw BadConversion("convertToDouble(\"" + line + "\")");
  return x;
} 
 
if(load_file.is_open())
                              {
                                  while(! load_file.eof())
                                  {
                                      getline (load_file,line);
                                      money = convertToDouble(line);
                                      //cout<<"Here is your previous game winnings: ";
                                      //cout << money << "\n";
                                      //Sleep(3000);
                                  }
                                  load_file.close();
                              }

Generally, this is what a compiler does for you. We can check if there are overall incorrect code that wouldn’t be caught by a compiler.

Slightly odd, but it seems like you have statements outside of a function scope. Look at that part: if (load_file.is_open… ) . Is it within a function?

You’ve definitely misused EOF. Look at the while loop where you test EOF, and then use getline. Let’s see if you get the hint, and if not, I’ll explain further. eof() doesn’t check if the next read would hit an EOF. It checks if the EOF flag is set, which would only be set by a previous I/O operation. Now, why would a I/O operation set the EOF flag?
