file reading problem

i have a file i am reading from, however it only prints part of the code and it appears to be a buffer problem. can anyone help?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


int numchoice;

void main()
{
        char ch;

        cout << "Welcome to the Airport Flight Database" << endl;
        cout << " " << endl;
        cout << "1 - Display all Flight information" << endl;
        cout << "2 - Display details for Flight number________ " << endl;
        cout << "3 - Find Flight(s) for a set route" << endl;
        cout << "4 - " << endl;
        cin >> numchoice;

       
       
        ifstream file;

        file.open("flight.txt",ios::nocreate);

        if(!file)
                {

                cout<<"UNABLE TO OPEN FILE!!";

                goto end;

                }

        while(file)

    {

    file.get(ch);

    cout<<ch;

    }

        getch();

        end:

        file.close();

        system("cls");



}

main() returns int, not void
don't use goto there

What do you mean by "it only prints part of the code"? Could you provide some sample output that highlights your problem?

well i have a text file which contains flight details, as follows

Code:

ignore the symbols, they are for search purposes later

it prints to the start of the first qf5, but from 5 onwards i get nothing. i tried to ctrl+shift and select the rest using the cursor keys, and it cleared the screen and printed the rest of the list

Try

cout << ch << flush;

Maybe your output is being buffered when you don't want it to.

cheers mate, problem sorted :D

You're welcome :)
