Unable to store value into vector after reading from file

[roidbeginnerlvl]

I am trying to read a textfile containing some informations in this format,

itemId:itemDescription:itemCategory:itemSubCategory:amountPerUnit:quantity:date.

item.txt

1:macbook:electronics:laptop:100:100:18-Oct-13
2:Iphone 5:electronics:handphone:50:50:18-Oct-13

I am able to extract everything except the itemId. Please advise or suggest what I should change/do to get the id. Thanks in advance.

my output

Id:      <----blank!
Item Description: macbook
item Category: electronics
item Sub Category: laptop
Item Amount Per unit: 100
Item quantity: 100
date: 18-Oct-13
Id:       <----blank!
Item Description: Iphone 5
item Category: electronics
item Sub Category: handphone
Item Amount Per unit: 50
Item quantity: 50
date: 18-Oct-13

expected output

Id: 1
Item Description: macbook
item Category: electronics
item Sub Category: laptop
Item Amount Per unit: 100
Item quantity: 100
date: 18-Oct-13
Id: 2
Item Description: Iphone 5
item Category: electronics
item Sub Category: handphone
Item Amount Per unit: 50
Item quantity: 50
date: 18-Oct-13

itemIdInFile is not declared anywhere in the code you have supplied.

Most of your member functions are not declared in the header you supplied.

I surmise that you have not posted your actual code because the code you have posted would not compile and you imply that you can compile it.

I'm very sorry. i guess I will repost this again

Try this style.
Also you can read the value into an array or just cout. Its even more easier once you know that value format remains the same.

using namespaces std;
string line = "foo: bar: boo:tuna";
string del = ":";

size_t pos = 0;
string token;
while ((pos = line.find(del)) != string::npos) {
    token = st.substr(0, pos);
    cout << token << endl;
    st.erase(0, pos + del.length());
}
cout << st << std::endl;

foo
bar
boo
tuna
