Help with txt file to array

[hvigil]

Hello, Im trying to pass values in the txt file to my array. But my program is not able to do that. It gets an error about break or something like that. I would like to know how to fix this.

The numbers in the txt file are : 44 56 7 8

#include<cmath>
#include<string>

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

int main ()
{
	int n; // number read from file
	int list[5];

	ifstream inFile; // the input file

	inFile.open("number.txt");

// Exit if there was an error
    // opening the file
	if (!inFile)
	{
		cout << "Error opening input" << endl;
		return -1;
	}
    
    // Loop through the input file
	while ( !inFile.eof() )
	{
		inFile>> n;
		for(int i = 0; i <= 4; i++)
		{
			list[n];
		}



	}
    // close the input file
	inFile.close();
  
    
    
	cout<<list[2]; // the number i want to output
    
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

while(!inFile.eof()) is usually wrong. I don't think you actually need it because you are already using a for loop. You should put inFile>> n; inside the for loop or otherwise all the array elements will be set to the same value.

I did what you saud Peter and it got worse :(

Trying not to change your code so much, there's one option:

int n will no longer serve as an intermediate, it will the iterator for entering each int of the array. first time, you assign the first number of you file to list[0], second time to list[1], and so on...

obviously, as pointed by peter, you had a problem with your loops, I suggest you get rid of the "for" one.

n=0;    // To refer each block of the array
while ( !inFile.eof() )
{
inFile>> list[n]; //assigning the content of the block of the array 
n++; //increasing each time by 1
}

What I'm not sure is how actually works the >> operator, don't know if it will stop after each blank space, or else...? I think it's way better to use getline, strings and stringstream, but nevermind...

Thanx JCaselles it works now!!
