PLEASE USE CODE TAGS SURROUNDING YOUR CODE: [code] [/code]

You can stop reading from the file once the file is out of information.

(ifstream >> object) returns a bool representing the success of the operation.
If it returns false, then the data retrieved is empty or not valid, so you exit the loop and don't print the information

ifstream record2 ("student.txt"); //allow to read the file

while ( record2 >> studentRec[x].studentIC >> studentRec[x].name >> studentRec[x].gender 
        >> studentRec[x].dob >> studentRec[x].country >> studentRec[x].year)
{
    cout << "*******************************************\n" << endl;
    cout <<"VIEW PAGE\n"<<endl;
    cout << "Student IC : " <<studentRec[x].studentIC<<endl; //display studentIC
    cout << "Name : " <<studentRec[x].name<<endl; //display name
    cout << "Gender : " <<studentRec[x].gender<<endl; //display gender
    cout << "Date of Birth : " <<studentRec[x].dob<<endl; //display date of birth
    cout << "Country : " <<studentRec[x].country<<endl; // display country
    cout << "Year / Semester of study : " <<studentRec[x].year<<endl;//display year
}
