array issue from openfile

Hi everyone. I writing a program that opens the file "plants.txt" ( see below) and then reads "plants.txt" into two arrays(name and price). The file is then sorted from lowest to highest in price.

I have 3 errors on program in the second while loop( see below) with comments for more detail.

  #include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>;
using namespace std;


int main ()

{
	string name; //declaring variables
	int price;
	ifstream theFile("plants.txt"); // filename
	
	while(theFile >> name >> price) // opens the file
	{ cout << name<< price << endl;	
	}
	
	int ArrayOne[58]; // defining array size
	int ArrayTwo[58];
	int i, size = 0;
	 
	while (!feof("plants.txt")) /* First error. "plants.txt" Error: argument of type "const Char" is incompatiable with parameter of type "FILe" so i am not sure what to replace "plants.txt" with*/
	{
		fscanf("plants.txt", " %d %d", &name, &price); // same issue as the one above with "plants.txt"
		ArrayOne[size] = name; // FINAL error: no suitable conversion function from "std::string" to int exists
		ArrayTwo[size] = price;
		size++;
	}

	for (i = 0; i<size; i++) {  // sorts the data
		printf("ArrayOne[%d] = %d,  ArrayTwo[%d] = %d\n",
			i, ArrayOne[i], i, ArrayTwo[i]);
	}
	
	
	system ("pause");
	return (0);

}

Hi,

while(theFile >> name >> price) // opens the file

This code doesn't open your file

but

theFile.open("plants.txt");

will open

HOPE IT HELPS
