Read in only text from file not numbers

[timjbirke]

Here's the code. I'm reading in a menu from a .txt file. The "getdat" function is supposed to read in just text not numbers. any ideas? Show menu isn't needed in the picture just yet.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

struct menuItemType
{
string menuItem;
double menuPrice;
bool selected;
};

void getdata(menuItemType menu[], int i);
void getdat(menuItemType menu[], int i);

void printcheck();

int main()
{
int i = 0;
menuItemType menu[20];

getdata(menu, i);
getdat(menu,i);



system ("pause");
return 0;

}

void getdata(menuItemType menu[], int i)
{

ifstream infile;
infile.open("menu.txt");
i = 0;
do
{

getline(infile, menu[i].menuItem);
infile >> menu[i].menuPrice;
infile.get();
cout << menu[i].menuPrice << endl;
i++;
} while (infile);
infile.close();

}

void getdat (menuItemType menu[], int i)
{
ifstream infile;
infile.open("menu.txt");
string item;
i = 0;

do
{
getline(infile, menu[i].menuItem);
infile >> menu[i].menuItem;

cout << menu[i].menuItem << endl;
i++;
} while (infile);
infile.close();
}
void showmenu()
{

}

What do you want the function getdat to do vs getdata?
What output do you expect?
I think you want to have both getdat and getdata like:

void getdata(menuItemType menu[], int &i);
void getdat(menuItemType menu[], int &i);

So when you come back from getdat or getdata the value of i will have the number of elements in the array menu. Just remember if you call both the number i will get incremented twice.
