I have a database with hundreds of lines that looks something like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
 
0.335634 0.014159 249.598008 0.499504 -0.853303 -0.149564 
0.147345 0.188289 13.938972 0.403825 -0.895824 0.185539 
0.143318 0.004027 28.212288 -0.651800 0.702521 -0.285693 
0.135454 0.007864 60.864681 -0.485362 0.869942 0.087318 
0.122921 0.012533 9.221047 -0.894950 0.425655 -0.133723 
0.085982 0.036939 43.936591 -0.220456 0.975142 -0.022287 
0.082738 0.003245 83.907961 0.771977 -0.629434 0.088680 
0.078883 0.003855 64.282467 0.524386 -0.652417 -0.547149 
0.000000 0.078882 16.490015 0.061913 -0.997716 -0.027006 

end


After my main program reads through the entire program I want it to go back to the beginning and start reading from the top again. I have been trying to implement this using an if loop like this:


1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
 
ifstream myfile("C:\\file");
while(1)
{
getline(myfile, line);
.
.
.

if(line == "end")
{
     ifstream myfile("C:\\file");
     continue;
}

}


That does not seem to work. I also tried

1
2
3
4
5
 
if(line == "end")
{
     myfile.seekg(0, ios::beg);
     continue;
}


That does not seem to work either. Any suggestions?????? I can't seem to get it...

Should work. For the first example you should close the file before re-opening it.

Are you sure that the line read contains exactly "end" and no other crud? (\r\n spaces etc)
