Thread: weird compiler error with .eof()

Code:

void Phonebook::GetEntries(fstream *fFile)
{
     int i=0;
     if(*fFile.eof())
     {
                    return;
     }
     else
     {
         while(getline(*fFile,vEntries[i].name,'\t') != NULL)
         {
                   vEntries[i].ordernum=i+1;
                   getline(*fFile,vEntries[i].cnumber,'t');
                   getline(*fFile,vEntries[i].hnumber,'t');
                   getline(*fFile,vEntries[i].address,'\n');
                   ++i;
         }
     }
}

Code:

 C:\Dev-Cpp\My Stuff\C++\PhoneBook\PhoneBook4\main.cpp In member function `void Phonebook::GetEntries(std::fstream*)': 
347 C:\Dev-Cpp\My Stuff\C++\PhoneBook\PhoneBook4\main.cpp `eof' has not been declared 
347 C:\Dev-Cpp\My Stuff\C++\PhoneBook\PhoneBook4\main.cpp request for member of non-aggregate type before '(' token

well my reason for calling .eof() is cause i want to check if the file is empty... and if it is return from the function and then continue letting the user enter entries until the file has something in it to display....
