How do I read two different data types from a .dat or .txt file?
For instance I have a file that is an inventory file that shows the item reference number, the item name, and the quantity available.
Example of what the file may look like:
01 Textbook 54
02 Pencils 90
How would I get the program to read both the int value and char value then writing the data from the file onto the screen using functions??
I keep getting infinite 0's on my screen when i compile.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
//Prototypes
void initialization();
void process ();
void eoj ();
void openIt();
void readIt();
void calculate();
void accumulate();
void writeIt();
//Declarations
ifstream inputFile;
char sName[15];
int refNum;
int qty;
void main(void)
{
initialization();
while (!inputFile.eof())
{
process();
}
eoj();
cout << " <---------End Of Run----------->\n";
return;
}
void initialization()
{
openIt();
readIt();
}
void process ()
{
writeIt();
readIt();
}
void eoj ()
{
inputFile.close();
}
void openIt()
{
inputFile.open("c:\\inventory.txt");
if (inputFile.fail())
cout << "Inventory file open failed" << endl;
return;
}
void readIt()
{
inputFile >> refNum >> sName >> qty;
return;
}
void calculate()
{
}
void accumulate()
{
}
void writeIt()
{
cout << refNum << sName << qty;
return;
}
