Question

Hey, i was wondering how i get data from a .txt file and put it into an array? We have to create a structure to hold the information(firstname, lastname, and age) on some characters. That character info is stored on a .txt file. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. (We are using Visual studio 2017 if that makes a difference)

txt file

Bugs
Bunny
1940
Elmer
Fudd
1933
Porky
Pig
1935
Daffy
Duck
1937
Tweety
Bird
1942
Taz
Devil
1954

Im not sure what you mean by elaborating on the structure?

Answer 1

Code

#include<iostream>

#include<fstream>

#include<string>

using namespace std;

struct character

{

string firstname,lastname;

int age;

};

int main()

{

ifstream inFile;

character characters[10];

inFile.open("data.txt");

if(!inFile)

{

cout<<"Error!! File not found.."<<endl<<endl;

return 0;

}

int i=0;

while(inFile>>characters[i].firstname>>characters[i].lastname>>characters[i].age)

i++;

cout<<"Date form the file stored in structure array is: "<<endl<<endl;

for(int j=0;j<i;j++)

{

cout<<"First name: "<<characters[j].firstname<<endl;

cout<<"Last name: "<<characters[j].lastname<<endl;

cout<<"Age: "<<characters[j].age<<endl<<endl;

}

return 1;

}

output
