Hi basically i need help , i am not good with c++ but i am trying my very best. i am currently stuck with trying to do an infix to postfix conversion that reads from a textfile. The text file contains the infix notations and the code is suppose to convert the infix to postfix notations and then solve it. My code displays the contents of the text file fine but i am lost on how to connect it with my converting code. If anybody can help i would greatly appreciate it.

for example the text file infix.txt would contain
3+7

3+7*2

(3+7)*2

3+(7-2)*((5-8)

3+((7(2-4)+5)2+9)*(4-8)-10

My main cpp file is

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "Stacks.h"
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cassert>
#include <cctype>




int main()

{
    string infixExp;

cout << "The current infix expressions are: " << endl;

 string getcontent;
    ifstream openfile ("infix.txt");
    if(openfile.is_open())
    {
        while(! openfile.eof())
        {
            openfile >> getcontent;
            cout << getcontent << endl;
        }
    }

cout << "Now to convert into post-fix expression and compute the result: " << endl;
//i dont know what to put here yet

cin.get();
cin.get();
return 0;

}

string postfix(string exp)

const int STACKS_CAPACITY = 128;
typedef int StacksElement;

class Stacks

{
    private:

        StacksElement top() const;



};

inline Stacks::Stacks()
{
    myTop = -1;
}



inline bool Stacks::empty() const
{
    return (myTop == -1);
}




inline void Stacks::pop()
{
     if(myTop >= 0)
        myTop--;
     else    
         cerr << "*** Stack is empty -- "            "can't remove a value ***\n";

}


void Stacks::push(const StacksElement & value)
{
    if (myTop < STACKS_CAPACITY - 1)
    {           
        ++myTop;
        myArray[myTop] = value;
    }

yes i read that, i dont think you read my post at all, its not the converting part, its the part where to get the code to connect to the converting part
