i got this code to test fstream its functions. and i am getting a error only on visual c++ console applications. is there a another way to get the while loop running?
i get the error at ">>" for no operator matches these operands 
 
 
while (objectFile >> name >> power) {

//displayItems
void displayItems(int x) {

	ifstream objectFile("objects.txt");
	string name;
	double power;

	if (x == 1) {
		while (objectFile >> name >> power) {
			if (power == 0) {
				cout << ' ' << name << ' ' << power << endl;
			}

		}
	}

	if (x == 2) {
		while (objectFile >> name >> power) {
			if (power>0) {
				cout << ' ' << name << ' ' << power << endl;
			}
		}
	}

	if (x == 3) {
		while (objectFile >> name >> power) {
			if (power<0) {
				cout << ' ' << name << ' ' << power << endl;
			}
		}
	}

I'm not sure but try to remove a > from 
 
 
while (objectFile >> name >> power)

So it's
 
 
while (objectFile > name > power)

Not sure why it wouldn't work.

:( its putting out 1000's more errors.

one error if set '<<'

C2679: binary'>>' no pparater found which takes a right hand openhand of type 'stdstring'(or there is no acceptable conversion)
:(
is compiling in 64bit makes a diffrence
