Reading Text File to Linked List

[chris23balln]

Trying to read a text file to a linked list. The text file looks something like this:

Name: Smith, Joe
ID: 346
Hours: 40
PayRate: 10

The text file will have multiple records as well. Ive tried a few different ways and nothing seems to work. Here is whats I have so far.


This is the Header

#ifndef MenuProgram_H
#define MenuProgram_H

class linkedlist{

private:
	typedef struct node{
		char data;
		node* next;

	}*nodePtr;

	nodePtr head;
	nodePtr curr;
	nodePtr temp;

public://functions

	linkedlist();
	void AddNode(char addData);

	void DisplayList(char addData);

};

#endif 

Here is the IF statement that calls for the file to be read and added to a list

if (MenuSelection == 2){
		ifstream myfile("Employee_Data.txt");
		linkedlist List;
		List.AddNode("Employee_Data.txt");

Here is the add function

void linkedlist::AddNode(char addData){

	nodePtr n = new node;
	n->next = NULL;
	n->data = addData;


	if (head != NULL){
		curr = head;
		while (curr->next != NULL){
			curr = curr->next;
		}
		curr->next = n;
	}
	else {
		head = n;
	}
}
