Thread: Parallel Arrays

Hey, I need some help with reading in data into 3 parallel arrays. 2 of the arrays are integers and the last one is a character string. I need to be able to read in all the data from the fileand store it into the arrays. The format of the input file is like this:

526334512 2665312 Jones, Julie Claire
264910093 2689022 Morgan, James Walter
587194309 5441234 Allen, Mary Ann
... ... ...

The code that I have so far(that does not work) is this:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

//Global variables
ifstream infile;
ofstream outfile;

typedef char str[30];

int main()
{
int n[30],m[30];
str name[30];

	infile.open("in599A.dat");
	while(infile)
	{
		for(int i=0;i<22;i++)
		{infile >> n[i] >> m[i];
		cout << n[i] << endl << m[i] << endl;
		infile >> name[i];
		cout << name[i] << endl;
		}
		

	}




	return 0;
}

Well, first of all

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
should be
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

and why are declaring the global variables? just declare them in the main()...

I'm going to need them later on in my program... so I thought anyway

Basically, I would like to know the syntax for reading the data in and storing it into the arrays. I tried to print out what I had using the code above and it wasn't printing out correctly

well, it looks fine to me, but then again, don't trust me .
