Outputting to file

underoathed (59)
Hello! I am having a hard time understanding why my increastPct variable outputs 87654.23 to a file. Any advisement is appreciated. Also any advice on how to get it to output the rest. It only outputs the first line. I tried using count++ inside the loop at the end of the syntax

the if else is not a loop, you might want to use while or for to actually loop trough the file line by line.

if outFile << will grab first line only, since read is done once only.

increasePct is changed only in two places. It has an initial value of 3.5 which is replaced by whatever is read from the input file. Are you sure the file is being read properly? A sample of the input file "Company.txt" would be helpful.

Okay the only thing I changed was while (!inFile.eof()) instead of if (!inFile.eof((). It prints out the first user's information indefinitely. Here is my code.

How many topics do you have for this problem? Stick with one topic so people can see the progression.

Oh my apologies. I thought I would need to make a new topic. I will resolve this one and post in the original. Thanks for that clarification jlb

Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
why my increastPct variable outputs 87654.23 to a file.
Well, it doesn't look like pure coincidence that the first line of the input file is:
Ferguson Sarah 87654.23 3.5
