Displaying a Text File...("Echo" a Text File)

[cristian1357]

So I'm really stuck trying to figured this bug on the program that is preventing me from displaying the text of my program..

#include <iostream>

#include <iomanip>

#include <fstream>

#include <sstream>

#include <string>

#include <stdio.h>

using namespace std;

int main ()

{

ifstream infile;

ofstream offile;

char text[1024];

cout <<"Please enter the name of the file: \n";

cin >> text;

infile.open(text);

string scores; // this lines...

getline(infile, scores, '\0'); // is what I'm using...

cout << scores << endl; // to display the file...

// Is there any way cleaner or simple method i can used to display the file ?

//All the method in the internet are difficult to understand or keep track due to the file is open in loop..

//I want a program that you type the name of the file and displays the file

// the file will contain the following...

// jack 23

//smith 27

//also I need to obtain data from the file

//now I'm using the following code to obtain that information from the file...

string name1;

int name2;

string name3;

int name4;

infile >> name1;

infile >> name2;

infile >> name3;

infile >> name4;

cout << "these two individual with their age add are" << name2 + name4 <<endl;

// 23 + 27

//the result I get is a bunch of numbers...

return 0;

}

cin.getline(text, 1000);

string scores;
getline(infile, scores, '\0');
cout << scores << endl;

Is there any way cleaner or simple method i can used to display the file ?

¿what's so complicated of those three lines?

std::cout << std::ifstream( "name_of_the_file.txt" ).rdbuf() ;
