how can input 5 datas in a file an then output all tthem.

[abdulazizi]

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

// this program contains an error

int main()
{
ifstream ifs("data.txt");
string name;
cout<<"enter the names:"<<endl;
for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
{
cin>>name;
}
// error in stream test
while(!ifs.eof())
{
cout<<name<< endl;
}

system ("pause");
return 0;
}

[abdulazizi]

while(!ifs.eof())
{
cout<<name<< endl;
}
this is the problem, it reads through the file non stop

You never read the file.
