Problems using two files

In the example program, I want to read from two files.
The first files works fine but I do not get an output from the second one. I am using Visual C++.

thanks for your help,

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
	ifstream inData;		//declaring file variable

	inData.open("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Wygal\\Desktop\\textFiles\\groc-inv.txt");

	char ch;				//declaring character variable



	while(!inData.eof())	//getting the multiple line file
	{
		inData.get(ch);
		cout << ch;
	}
	cout << endl;      	
	
	inData.close();			//closing first file


/*_____________________________OPEN SECOND FILE_____________________________________*/
	inData.open("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Wygal\\Desktop\\textFiles\\grocery.txt");

	inData >> ch;			//TRYING TO GET A CHARACTER

	cout << ch << endl;		//TRYING TO PRINT CHARACTER
							
							//THIS ACTION IN NOT WORKING

	return 0;
}

> inData.close(); //closing first file
Although this really shouldn't be necessary, you may need to clear the error flags before opening the next file, so call clear() after the close():

Code:

	inData.close();			//closing first file
	inData.clear();

Code:

>	while(!inData.eof())	//getting the multiple line file
>	{
>		inData.get(ch);
>		cout << ch;
>	}

Never use eof() to control a file reading loop. Instead use the return value of the read itself:

Code:

	while(inData.get(ch))	//getting the multiple line file
	{
		cout << ch;
	}
