ifstream only reads 1 item
I am trying to read from a file, but after I read 1 item, I get no more. (eof maybe).
I am trying to serialize my class (and its subclasses) by overiding the >>/<< and ifstream and ofstream. The ofstream part works fine and my file is built properly. When I read it back in, I only get the first item, and the rest are null,
Code:
//AddressBook.cpp overload
ifstream& operator >>(ifstream &infile, CAddressBook *entry)
{
cout << "Loading in a new AddressBook object from the file." << endl;
infile >> entry->m_contact;
cout << "Done loading in a new AddressBook object from the file." << endl;
}
//Contact.cpp overload
ifstream& operator >>(ifstream &infile, CContact *contact)
{
cout << "Reading in Contact info." << endl;
infile >> contact->m_fname;
cout << "I read first name as :" << contact->m_fname << endl;
infile >> contact->m_lname;
cout << "I read last name as :" << contact->m_lname << endl;
infile >> contact->m_pnumber;
infile >> contact->m_email;
cout << "I read email as :" << contact->m_email << endl;
cout << "Done reading in Contact info." << endl;
}
//PhoneNum.cpp overload
ifstream& operator >>(ifstream &infile, CPhoneNum *pnum)
{
cout << "Reading in the phonenumber." << endl;
infile >> pnum->m_areacode;
cout << "Read areacode as:" << pnum->m_areacode << endl;
infile >> pnum->m_prefix;
cout << "Read prefix as:" << pnum->m_prefix << endl;
infile >> pnum->m_suffix;
cout << "Read suffix as:" << pnum->m_suffix << endl;
cout << "Done reading in the phonenumber." << endl;
}
All I get is the first name, all other fields are NULL.
I added all the obnoxios couts to try and debug what was happening. Any ideas?
