.txt to 2d array

[Jack Van Stone]

The code doesn't show any errors but doesn't show any results also

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string S [30] [6];
    string L;
    ifstream file;
    string s;
    string m;
    cin >> m;
    int count = 0;
    file.open("sample.txt");
   while ((getline(infile, l)))
       count++;
    infile.seekg(0, ios_base::beg);
    for (int i=0; i < count; i++)
    {
        for (int j=0; j < 6; j++)
        infile >> s[i][j];
    }
    for (int k = 0; k < count; k++)
    {
        for (int x = 0; x < 6; x++)
            cout << s[k][x];
    }
}

Can someone please tell me what did I do wrong?

Line 14: You don't check that your open succeeded. If the open fails, your program will execute, but not show any results.

Line 15: When you reach eof, infile's eof bit will be set. You don't clear the stream state, so none of the subsequent read operations will succeed.

Thank you for answering
I added your comments to my code through

if (infile.fail())
        cout << "code is not working";

About your other comment, I am not sure I understand what you mean

Lines 15-16: You're reading the file until you reach EOF. When you attempt to read past the last record, the EOF state bit is set for the file. You position to the beginning of the file and start reading again (line 21). Those reads are going to fail because the EOF state bit is still set. Before line 17, you need to call infile.clear(); to clear the EOF state bit.
