The name of the project sourcefile is payollin.cpp and document employee.txt

You need to explain what problem you have with this code. Also it should be

[code=cplusplus]

[ithelp]

"C:\Dev-CPP\employee.txt" may not correct , do not you need escape \ using \\ ?

[zandiago]

It would be good if you could tell us what problems you're facing. So i'm presuming that employee.txt is an infile? Please upload it.

int main() {
int numberofemployees;
int employeeid, hoursworked;
float hourlyrate, grosspay, taxamount, netpay;
const float TAXRATE=0.10;
ifstream fin("C:\Dev-Cpp\employee.txt");

while (!fin.eof()){
fin >> employeeid >> hoursworked >> hourlyrate;
cout<<"EMPLOYEE ID IS: "<

You need a [/code] at the end of your statements.

refer to what ithelp said above. You need to escape your \ inside the quotes, so your file name string probably needs to be "C:\\Dev-Cpp\\employee.txt"

Also it is better to explicitly state the mode in which you want to open the file, and then check if the file pointer is valid or not before proceeding to try and read the contents of your file.
ifstream ifs ( "test.txt" , ifstream::in );

if(ifs.good()) { // we have a valid pointer, proceed

Hey, Are you sure that the file is being opened?
Because Your Code Doesnt Test whether it has opened it

if (myfile.is_open()) { /* ok, proceed with output */ }

You should have an if statement like the above to know that you have opened the file successfully.
