reading from .txt file

[abiz]

Hello everyone, i'm still learning C++ and having trouble reading text files and putting them into strings.

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

int main()
{
    string txt;
    ifstream file("text.txt");
    
    if (file.is_open())
         while (file.good())
             getline(file, txt);
    file.close();
    
    cout << txt << endl;
    system ("pause");
    return 0;
}

if i have a txt file that contains

Hello World

it would come out

Hello World

but if i have a txt file that contains

Hello
World

it would come out

World

how do i go about reading the entire txt file and displaying it the same way it is read from the txt file?

The fastest solution would be to put the cout command inside of the while loop that starts at Line 11. Right now "getline(...)" is over writting 'Hello' with 'World' because you told it to.

If you just want to display the text file, then print every line you read:

    if (file.is_open())
         while (file.good())
           {
             getline(file, txt);
             cout <<txt<<endl;
           }

Your program reads all the lines.
But in every iteration in the while loop,
the older value of 'txt' gets overwritten with the next line.

So your program simply prints the last line.

what i actually wanted to do was read a file that would take several lines of information
(name, age, sex, studentID)

Bob
20
M
1114007

Susan
22
F
1123150

above 2 files sent from 2 different students
and then output a file that looks like

1114007 Bob 20 M
1123150 Susan 22 F

this file is given to the instructor

how do i read each line and assign them into a string array?

I have found what i was looking for, thanks everyone for the input :)

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

int main ()
{
    string txt[10];
    string line;

    int i=0;
    ifstream file ("example.txt");
    if (file.is_open()){
        while (!file.eof()){
            getline(file,line);
            txt[i]=line;
            i++;
            }
        }
    file.close();
    
    for (int j=0; txt[j]!="\0"; j++)
        cout << txt[j] << endl;
        
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}
