Getting error with getline and argv

[jeaninem71]

My objective is to check to see if a number is odd or even and print it to the screen just to make sure its working correctly.

The data file contains:
138
402 2 485
9
43
98 805
58
421
948 7 97
48
67
35
42
948
579 39 12
700 20 500 210
98

I can get the numbers to print fine using:

   
ifstream infile1(argv[1]);

          if(!infile1.is_open())
               cout << "Could not open file";
          else
          {
               char listNum;
               while(infile1.get(listNum))
                    cout << listNum;
          }

However, when I check for odd or even numbers it will check each and every number.

printed like this (partial list):
1 is odd 3 is odd 8 is even
9 is odd

But it should print:
138 is even
9 is odd

I tried using getline, but it keeps giving me the errors:
invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'char**'
invalid conversion from 'char' to 'size_t*'
too few arguments to function 'ssize_t getline(char**, size_t*, FILE*)'

Here is the getline code, what am I doing wrong? I have tried switching things around, adding things. Just nothing works.

 ifstream infile1(argv[1]);

          if(!infile1.is_open())
               cout << "Could not open file";
          else
          {
               char listNum;
               getline(infile1, listNum);
                    cout << listNum;
          }

¿why don't just read your numbers as numbers?

int number;
while( input>>number ){
   //...
}

getline takes a string
