Yes, erase all that stuff in main... Now try and figure out how to read the info from the file.

I hope this helps you if you come up against similar problems:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::string str;
    int numPackages, packageType;
    double total, packageWeight, pricePerOunce1, pricePerOunce2;
    std::ifstream fin("input.txt");
    std::ofstream fout("output.txt");

    if (!fin)
    {
        std::cout << "Unable to open input file.";
        return 1;
    }
    fin >> numPackages;
    for (int i = 0; i < numPackages; ++i)
    {
        getline(fin, str); // 1. read name
        fout << str << '\n'; // write name
        getline(fin, str); // 2. read street address
        fout << str << '\n'; // write street address
        getline(fin, str); // 3. read city
        fout << str << ", "; // write city
        getline(fin, str); // 4. read state
        fout << str << ' '; // write state
        getline(fin, str); // 5. read zip code
        fout << str << '\n'; // write zip code
        fin >> packageType;
        switch (packageType)
        {
            case 1: //overnight
                    //read other numbers
                    //calculate total
                    break;
            case 2: //two-day
                    //read other numbers
                    //calculate total
                    break;
            case 2: //ground
                    //read other numbers
                    //calculate total
                    break;
        }
        fout << total << '\n';
        fin.ignore(); //ignore rest of numbers line
        fin.ignore(); //ignore empty line
    }
    fin.close();
    fout.close();

    return 0;
