while loops

[Angie]

I have a program that needs to read information from a file. This
information contains a name, a difficulty level and 9 scores.

The problem I am having is that my while loop isn't looping. It's only
reading the first full line of the file. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
Angie


int main()
{
// declare variables
int SIZE;
double difficulty, score, total_score;
string name;

ifstream infile;
infile.open("MP6dive.dat");
if (!infile)
{
cout << "Trouble opening data file\n" ;
return 1;
}

infile >> SIZE;

infile >> name >> difficulty;
total_score = 0;

while(infile)
{
cout << name << setw(8) << difficulty << setw(7);

int i;
for(i=0; i <= JUDGES; i++)
{
infile >> score;
cout << score << " ";
total_score = score + total_score;
}

double final_score = total_score * difficulty;

cout << final_score << endl;

infile >> name >> difficulty;
}

infile.close();

return 0;
} // end main

Yes. Post the contents of the file along with the source.

You only told it to read the first full line of the file.

Instead of if(!infile)... try this:

while(infile)
{
infile >> name >> difficulty;
cout << name << difficulty;

total_score = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
{
infile >> score;
cout << score;
total_score += score;
}
}

Yeah...sorry. I viewed the original message in an internet newsgroup
reader and it saw the < signs and the > signs as html tags or something
and a lot of the code was missing. Ignore my previous post.

I figured it out and it was a simple error on my part. Thanks for looking
over it for me!
(Loops and I have a very strained relationship...)
