I having issues with My While LOOP please help

[charmeda103]

i working on a program in c++ and my program is to read data from a file. I using a while loop.
the while loop is not reading the dates of each line. mm/dd/yyyy

everything in the file is reading accept the begining of each line which starts with the date. How do i fix it to make the program read the whole file.

 
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <cmath>
 
 
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int month;
                int day;
                int year;
                int junkChar;
 
 
 
    string sampleInput;
 
    ifstream inFile;
    inFile.open("F:\\data3.txt");
 
 
 
    while(!inFile.eof())
    {
 
 
        inFile>> sampleInput;
        getline(inFile,sampleInput,'\n');
 
 
 
        if ( sampleInput=="")
        {
            cout << endl;
 
 
        }
        else
            cout << sampleInput << endl;
 
 
 
    }
        cout << endl;
 
 
        inFile.close();
 
        return 0;
}

Hi, I deleted your other identical thread. If you think your thread needs a bit more
attention simply *bump* it by replying to your own thread so it ends up at the top
of the list again. Please don't double post your questions.

kind regards,

I don't understand. Are you saying that your program correctly reads every line of the file but somehow doesn't see the first few characters of each line? If so, then there isn't anything wrong with your while-loop; the problem is with how you parse the input lines.

As an experiment, don't try to parse the input lines at all, simply write them out again. Does that program print out a copy of the input file?
