C++ Struct Question

[dubstar]

my first Struct:

struct menuType		//struct definition
{
	string itemName;	//name of item
	double itemPrice;	//price of item
};

string getMenu()
{
	ifstream menuList;
	menuList.open("menuList.txt");
	if (menuList.is_open())
	{
		while (! menuList.eof())
		{
			cin.getline (menuInfo.itemName,menuInfo.itemPrice);
		}
	}
};

what am i doing wrong ?? 🙁

First off:

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/istream/getline.html

Second, you are opening a file and then requesting cin?

i was trying to open a file, read it, and then have each line stored into alternating variables.

the first line would be itemName, then itemPrice. until the end of the file.

thanks for the link.

where does menuInfo come from? You might need an input string stream (istringstream) but I'm not sure.
