File IO Issue

[phillion]

Hello,

I am trying to do simple file IO whereby I read in three integers from a file.
INPUT File:
4 4 1
4 4 1

C++ CODE:

int el_shape =0;
int nNodes =0;
int nElems =0;
	
// Open the control file
ifstream file;
file.open(filename.c_str());
if(!file.is_open())std::cout<<filename+" does not exist! Exit"<<std::endl;;

char name[256];
file.getline(name,256);
std::cout<<name<<std::endl;

file>>el_shape >> nNodes >> nElems;
std::cout<<el_shape<<" "<<nNodes<<" "<<nElems<<std::endl;

PROGRAM OUTPUT:
4 4 1
0 0 0

Does anyone have an idea as to why the values of the variables el_shape, nNodes, and nElems are not updating using "file>>el_shape>>nNodes>>nElems;" ? This would seem trivial to me but as seen in the output, it's not working!

Thank you,
Andre

Please use [code][/code] tags around your code.

Is there a loop or something in there you are omitting? I only see you printing anything out once.

To answer your question, line 12 and line 15 both have print outputs.
