POWhile loop for loading files not working
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to make a linked list that adds emails from a text file in the order they were received. The while loop, that I'm using to retrieve email info and make new nodes, is not even completing a single iteration (I tested it with an integer and another condition for stopping). My .txt file worked when loading it with someone else's program, so I believe my source_file.get aren't working?</p> <pre><code>int Classify::Load_email(char filename[]) { ifstream source_file(filename); char eof_prime; if(!source_file) // Checks whether there is anything in the file return 0; if(!email_head) { // If there is no head, creates a new node for it to point to, and have tail point to it as well email_head = new email_node; email_tail = email_head; email_tail->next = NULL; } source_file >> eof_prime; // Primes the eof function. while(!(source_file.eof())); { source_file.get(email_tail->email_data.sent, 50, '|'); source_file.get(email_tail->email_data.from, 50, '|'); source_file.get(email_tail->email_data.to, 50, '|'); source_file.get(email_tail->email_data.subject, 100, '|'); source_file.get(email_tail->email_data.contents, 200, '|'); // If source_file isn't eof, then create a new node, connect the nodes, then have tail point to it, make next NULL if(!(source_file.eof())) { email_tail->next = new email_node; // retaining the order emails were sent in, so always adding to the end email_tail = email_tail->next; email_tail->next = NULL; } } // end while loop return 1; }; </code></pre>
