Resetting file pointer position

[thefer]

it will search the whole file once then i cant get it to reset without restart the program.

cin >> paycode;
 
while(paycode!=0)
{
  while(!infile.eof())
  {
    infile >> search;
    infile.ignore(1);
    infile >> salary;
 
    if (search == paycode)
    {
      cout << salary;
    }
  }

You need to be doing something along the lines of calling

infile.clear();
infile.seekg(0, infile.beg);
