Copying strings and integers to arrays from an external file
Hello. I am trying to figure out how to copy information into 4 different parallel arrays from a text file.
This is an example chunk of the text file:
Zip Drive
89
Warehouse C
75.89
Keyboard
133
Warehouse C
25.95
I'm having trouble getting the integers to read into the array. The strings do however go into the arrays.
My 4 arrays are item[i], qty[i], location[i], and price[i] and my max array size is 30.
I am also required to use getline in order to make the full text line appear.
Like I said, the string lines come back okay. When an integer line comes up however, a very very small negative number appears (-600,000 something).
I was just wondering if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction on what it is I need to do.
Thank you
