structure with textfile

[SoetSout]

im currently busy with a lil asignment but need sum help

i need to input data from a textfile into a structure...

the textfile looks as follows:

hexagonal nut
12345
8.50
54321
23456
98765
circular bolt
54321
-22.00
45678
98765
12345
dart
223344
33.00
54321

my main file looks as follows:

// reading a text file
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include "parts.h"
#include <istream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
  string line;
  vector<parts> part;
  ifstream myfile ("Input.txt");
  int i = 0;
  {
  if (myfile.is_open())
  {
    while (! myfile.eof() )
    {
          if (i = 0){
      getline (myfile,line);
      parts.part_name = split(line);
      ++i;
      }
      else if (i = 1){
           getline(myfile,line);
           parts.part_number = 'line';
           ++i;
      }
      else if (i == 2){
           getline(myfile,line);
           parts.part_price = 'line';
           ++i;
           }
        else while (i == 3){     
        if (isdigit(myfile.peek(line))){
         getline(myfile,line);
         part.part_links.push_back(line);
         }
         else { 
              i = 0;
         }
             
    }
    myfile.close();
  }

  else cout << "Unable to open file"; 
  system("pause");
  return 0;
}

}

my header looks like this:

#include <list>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
//all the include function come here
struct parts {
       string part_name;
       long part_number;
       double part_price;
       vector<long> part_links;
       }first;
       
       
     string split(string);
#endif 

and my functions are these.. i need some extra though:

#include "parts.h"
using namespace std;



bool space(char c)
{
    //checking if the character is a space
    return isspace(c);    
}


bool not_space(char c)
{
    //checking if the data is not a space
    return !isspace(c);   
}

//the split function for the strings
vector <string> split(const string& str)
{
    typedef string::const_iterator iter;
    vector<string> ret;
    
    iter i = str.begin();
    while(i != str.end()){
        //ignoring the blanks
        i = find_if(i, str.end(), not_space);
        //finding the end of the next word
        iter j = find_if(i, str.end(), space);
        if(i != str.end()){
            //copying the word
            ret.push_back(string(i, j));
            i = j;
        }
    }
    return ret;
}

now the whole idea is to let the program read automaticly from the text file and input that data into the structure. it will then later have to put the structure into a list, but thats a problem for another day.

can som1 plz help me get this code to work so that it automaticly adds the code to the structure.

the reason for the while loop in the end is because it needs to input part links and there is no definite of how many there can be.

please, any help will be much appreciated

In spite of the fact I didn't revise your code I found same mistakes:

if (i = 0){ //    <==  use if (i==0)
      getline (myfile,line);
      parts.part_name = split(line);
      ++i;
      }
      else if (i = 1){ //    <==  use if (i==1)

parts.part_name = split(line);


The 'parts' is a type, you can't use it as a instance of structure.

Additionally if your text file has same structure (I think the parts struct is repeated through all text file), then you don't need devide your while loop to if statements.

vector<parts> vector_part;

parts struct_part;
...
while (! myfile.eof() )
    {
        
      getline (myfile,line); // or I advise you using >> operators
      // for example: 
      // myfile >> struct_part.part_name;
      // myfile >> struct_part.part_number;
      // etc,

      ...
     
       vector_part.part_links.push_back(line);
      
             
    }
