still struggling with the linked list

[Andym]

My assignment is due tonight and I can not get this code to write the text from a text file into struct nodes. It writes the first line but doesn't add after that. Please help me fix this code to work with multiple lines of text in a text file.

I know that there is stuff that doesn't belong in here but I need to get it working.

Main:

	#include <string>
	#include <iostream>
	#include <fstream>
	#include <cstdlib>
	#include <sstream>
	#include "Assignment4.h"
	
	//GetFileName
 string getFileName()
 {
 string fileName;	
 cout << "Enter Name of file to open INCLUDING extension ::" << endl;
 cin >> fileName;
 //================test to make sure the fileName name has a txt extension
 string ext="";
for(int i = fileName.length()-1;i>fileName.length()-5;i--)
{
    ext += fileName[i];
}//end for

if(ext != "txt.")
 { 
    cout<<"File name does not contain the proper extension, Please Enter Name of file to open INCLUDING extension :: " <<endl;
    cin >> fileName;
 }//end if
 return fileName;
 }//end getFileName
