Odd Getline Error

[ratscab]

I am working on a sorting program for hockey stats, (school assignment) and for some reason when I attempt to read from a text file I get weird output. It doesn't read the entire file (output is "Chris", file reads: CHRIS NEIL  ,"6' 1""",215,18-Jun-79,33,"FLESHERTON, ON, CAN") and while I only have one system pause written into the file it gives me two, but the second one is only non alphabetic characters. I believe the problem is in these lines of code:

cout << "Enter the name of the file you wish to choose from." << endl;
getline(cin, fname); // Getting name of file to open

infile.open(fname.c_str());

getline(infile, oops);

cout << "" << oops << endl;

but I included the entire program.

Im not sure i understand. You have a function called pname(string) which returns the players first name, and this is the only function that gets called within the main function. Its doing what you had asked it too.

/*cout << "To just print the name of the player hit 'ENTER' now." << endl;

player[0].name = pname(temp);

cout << "" << player[0].name << endl; */

what is it that you want it to do?
