Ignoring random newlines while reading from a file.
I'm having trouble properly reading files while there may be random newlines in between the input file.
My code looks like this, it is looped in a while(!input.eof())
an example of a random input file looks like this:
How can I take into consideration that there may be random newlines in between my data as I read?
I've tried using cin.ignore(100,'\n') but that only works if I know for sure where the newlines are.
I'm having trouble properly reading the files in the loop statement if they're placed randomly.
My code looks like this, it is looped in a while(!input.eof())
| void person::read_from_file(ifstream & input) { getline(input, name); getline(input, major); input>>age; input>>height; input>>weight; input>>gpa; input>>worth; grade = calc_grade(gpa); calc_feet(height); calc_inches(height); input.ignore(20,'\n'); } |
an example of a random input file looks like this:

seams like an issue with your outputs, could you post the part of the code holding your cout's?
Posting the whole code would be more helpful, but if it's really long and if I'm right about your outputs then just the outputs would probably work.
