    Line spacing removal, empty line ignoring

    I've got an issue with unnecessary spacing removal and empty line ignorance. So the code below -> reads a line from a file, gets all 5 values from the line (value1, ..., value5). Then the value5 is checked if it's a float, then it gets compared with a user input price and if the line's float value is less or equal to the user's input price, then that line's data is being printed out. That part is working, but it prints the data out with an empty line, unnecessary spacings just as in the given data file (db.csv -> see below). I guess the getline part in which it assigns the values to value1 etc is working ignoring the earlier spacing deletion. Any ideas?

    Code:
    [COLOR=var(--highlight-color)]fstream [COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]file[/COLOR]([COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]"db.csv"[/COLOR], ios::in)[/COLOR][COLOR=var(--highlight-color)];[/COLOR]
    string value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, line;
    [COLOR=var(--highlight-namespace)]float[/COLOR] inputPrice, priceFile;
    
    cin >> inputPrice;
    
    [COLOR=var(--highlight-keyword)]if[/COLOR] (file.[COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]is_open[/COLOR]()) {
        cout << [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]"result:"[/COLOR] << endl;
    
        [COLOR=var(--highlight-keyword)]while[/COLOR] ([COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]getline[/COLOR](file, line)) {
            [COLOR=var(--highlight-keyword)]if[/COLOR] (!line.[COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]empty[/COLOR]()) {
                line.[COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]erase[/COLOR]([COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]remove[/COLOR](line.[COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]begin[/COLOR](), line.[COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]end[/COLOR](), [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]' '[/COLOR]), line.[COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]end[/COLOR]());
    
                [COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]getline[/COLOR](file, value1, [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]','[/COLOR]);
                [COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]getline[/COLOR](file, value2, [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]','[/COLOR]);
                [COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]getline[/COLOR](file, value3, [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]','[/COLOR]);
                [COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]getline[/COLOR](file, value4, [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]','[/COLOR]);
                [COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]getline[/COLOR](file, value5, [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]'\n'[/COLOR]);
    
                istringstream [COLOR=var(--highlight-literal)]str[/COLOR](value5);
                str >> priceFile;
    
                [COLOR=var(--highlight-keyword)]if[/COLOR] (priceFile <= inputPrice) {
                    cout << value1 << [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]" "[/COLOR] << value2 << [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]" "[/COLOR] << value3 << [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]" "[/COLOR] << value4 << [COLOR=var(--highlight-variable)]" "[/COLOR] << 
                    value5 << endl;
                }
            } [COLOR=var(--highlight-color)]    }

    Are you ever going to learn how to post code without all that markup?

    Are you going to stop pushing your spam urls?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
