eof() problems - doubling last value

[kraigballa]

Here is me code:

// Read from file then display Loan
	while (!loanf.eof())
	{
		loanf.read(reinterpret_cast<char*> (&newLoan), sizeof(Loan));
		displayLoan(newLoan);
	}

For some reason the last Loan object is being read twice. Here is the output I get..you will notice the bottom is doubled when it should not be as I only have 5 loan objects in the file.

5.3 10 20000
3 5 10000
10.9 7 15000
21.3 5 10000
2.3 3 5000
2.3 3 5000
Press any key to continue . . .

Move the eof check after reading
eg:

while ( true )
{
    // read
    if ( !loanf ) // will check for bad and fail as well as eof
         break; // exit from the while
    // do your stuff
}

Thanks Bazzy, worked like a charm!
