something wrong!!

[smile58]

void kbc::sce()   // member function of class kbc
{ clrscr();
ifstream ifs("SCORE.TXT");  // a file stores score after game is played
if(ifs.eof())                // checking whether any score stored and printing 
{ gotoxy(15,15);
  cputs(" No score registered \n");
  getch();
}
else                                
if(!ifs.eof())
{while(!ifs.eof())
{ ifs.read((char*) &t,sizeof(t));  // 't' is object of class kbc
       if(ifs.eof())
	break;
       t.score();
}
} getch();
ifs.close();
}

This is working for infinite times unless any record is available for it to be read.

btw, i tried this code just for test the link you gave on the above post:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
	int i = 0;
	
	cout << "enter: ";
	while (cin >> i) {
		cout << "you've entered: " << i << endl;
		cout << "enter again (non-integer type to stop): ";
	}
	cout << "bye2..." << endl;
	cin >> i;
	return 0;
}

but, why the

	cout << "bye2..." << endl;
	cin >> i;

part don't work properly?

btw to the OP:

if(!ifs.eof())
{while(!ifs.eof())
{ ifs.read((char*) &t,sizeof(t));  // 't' is object of class kbc
       if(ifs.eof())
	break;
       t.score();
}

why not?

while (!ifs.eof()) {
    ifs.read((char*) &t,sizeof(t));  // 't' is object of class kbc
    t.score();
}

Because the stream gets an invalid state.
Besides, you wouldn't got out of the loop if you could keep reading.

@ne: so how to resetting the stream back to normal? i tried to use cin.clear() but seems like it doesn't working...

@chipp
I like how you have stolen this thread ;)
Be more specific what you mean by "back to normal". cin.clear() will clear the error flags of the stream so that you can read from it again.

sorry i am not able to resolve any error. by any above methods

hahaha... sorry dude, don't realized that i hijacked someone's thread...

@OP: excuse me bro...

@peter: what i mean is clear the input buffer of the stream... any links?

Because you didn't read the input. It remains in the buffer.
You need to discard it std::cin.ignore( std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), '\n' );
