please help?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
string getcontent;
ifstream openfile("data.txt");
if(openfile.is_open())
{
while(! openfile.eof())
{
getline(openfile, getcontent);
cout << getcontent << endl;
}
}

system("pause");
return 0;
}

Try changing this

if(openfile.is_open())
{
while(! openfile.eof())
{
getline(openfile, getcontent);
cout << getcontent << endl;
}
}

to this

while (getline(openfile, getcontent))
    cout << getcontent << endl;

It looks like ifstream openfile can not open the specified file. You can check whether the problem is that the file can not be found by placing it in the root directory and using

ifstream openfile("c:\\data.txt");

Thank you so much for the help, is just that I placed the text file in the wrong directory :)
