file IO with structure

skimmer001 (79)
I'm having a problem reading a structure from a file, but it works fine saving to a file.

I get the error in line 31 saying "error C2678: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type..." and a whole bunch of weird stuff.

Anyone help me?

void writeFile()
{
	ofstream file;
	file.open("test.txt");
	if (!file)
	{
		cout << "Cannot load file, aborting." << endl;
		exit(0);
	}
	else
	{
		file << u1.name << " " << u1.phoneNumber << " " << u1.servicePin;
		file.close();
	}

	
}

void readFile()
{
	ifstream file1;
	file1.open("test.txt");
	if (!file1)
		{
			cout << "Cannot load file, aborting." << endl;
			exit(0);
		}
	else
		{

			file1 >> u1.name >> " " >> u1.phoneNumber >> " " >> u1.servicePin;
		
			file1.close();
		}

}

what do you think file>>" "; mean?
You should fix your code if you realize this.

I'm trying to space it out

No. If you want to space it out,
file>> u1.name >> u1.phoneNumber >> u1.servicePin;
or better space

file>>u1.name
    >>u1.phoneNumber
    >>u1.servicePin;


When you do file>>" ", you are trying to put something in " " which of course you know is wrong because " " is not a variable.
