Help reading a text file

[jaredc123]

I have an asignment where i must read and then later do calculations with the data.

I need to

•Code for employee classification (H for hourly, S for salaried)
•If hourly, two fields follow: hours worked and hourly pay rate
•If salaried, only one field follows: annual salary

This is the data to be read:

101456 H 20 6.57
100045 S 81994.12
100321 H 45 23.50
101987 H 39 15.76
100486 S 116935.65
100357 H 50 18.19
102003 H 30 12.75
123887 S 226345.43
110441 S 54783.28
101119 H 35 22.22
114532 S 152573.23
100003 H 40 19.00
101285 H 60 29.95
105539 S 100284.54
176531 S 78546.77
101119 H 38 43.15

This is what I have but I can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated .

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
//Declare variables
int empid, hours;
char code;
double salary, rate, gp;

ifstream inFile;
inFile.open ("F:\\paydata.txt");

if (!inFile) 
{
    cout << "Unable to open file " << endl;
    exit(1);   // call system to stop
}


while(!inFile.eof())
if (code == 'H')
{
	inFile >> empid >> code >> hours >> rate;  
}
else if(code == 'S')
{
inFile >> empid >> code >> salary;
}


return 0;
}

I believe I am not initializing the variables correctly from the text file as I keep getting those types of errors

You have to read from the file before checking 'code'. Try this at the end:

while(!inFile.eof())
{inFile >> empid >> code;
if (code == 'H')
{inFile >> hours >> rate; }
else
{inFile >> salary;}
}
return 0;
}
