Hi all,
My cosin give me your site today when I called him, he kind of had the same problem. I have a file and i'm trying to read from this file as follow ID, first, last name and from the numbers (buyer.type) two things type, and how many pound, so I can use the number to calculate how many the costumer bought and the total of his purchase through the time .my code below read the id , first and last then reads trash numbers like 0012B180 with no clue what is it?I don't know why I'm getting trash. I don't know if my algorithm right or not
help please

example from the file :

1 ROBERT DAVIS 1 12 5 10 3 6 1 5 4 2 1 10 4 1 0
2 BARBARA MILLER 3 10 4 9 5 1 3 1 4 3 1 3 1 1 4 10 2 1 1 14 3 3 5 9 3 14 5 14 0
3 MICHAEL WILSON 4 8 4 7 5 10 2 8 5 12 5 15 3 2 0
8 ELIZABETH MOORE 2 9 2 8 5 3 1 6 3 8 0
9 WILLIAM TAYLOR 4 8 5 8 2 2 4 5 1 6 3 9 2 13 3 13 3 13 0

Line 53: T is uninitialized so its value is any old random value, including 0. You need to initialize it to some known value on line 51. Using a while statement to read integers here is not a good idea because the >> operator does not stop at end-of-line. Better solution is to call getline() to read the rest of the line into a single string then parse the string to extract the numbers. You can use stringstream to do that very easily.

thanks Ancient Dragon
i did this b'cas i want to make two value from the numbers. I think I have trouble understading algorithm in your idea.
could you please support your thought with some code.

I saw this code but in this case i can't b'cas I'm using the numbers as intgers . I used string for first and last name but i want my code to read till get to 0 (so I used a while loop)then move to the next customer.(which were the T and P)
the other thing is when I'm done from the array I have to split them to two things type and pound.
sorry I think I didn't explain my problem right.
