Reading integers from a file in C++

Mullicker

This should be simple, don't know why it ain't working. I basically want to read some integers from a file storing them in variables i already have declared. If the file doesn't open i give the variables default values.

    std::ifstream inFile;
    inFile.open("options.txt");
    int nextInt;
    
    //If the file loaded
    if( !inFile )
    {
        noOfPlayers = 10;
        startingChips = 500;
        hands_per_level = 10;
        table = 3;
        deck = 3;
        AI = 3;
    }
    else{  
        inFile >> nextInt;
        noOfPlayers=nextInt;
        
        inFile >> nextInt;
        startingChips=nextInt;
        
        inFile >> nextInt;
        startingChips=nextInt;
        
        //Close the file
        inFile.close();
    }

My text file is number space num e.g.:
10 500 10
but my variables are not getting filled with these numbers. It reads in the first number fine.

Try inFile >> noskipws >> nextInt; instead.

Try inFile >> noskipws >> nextInt; instead

Still no luck. Most tutorials i found have same code as mine so i can't figure out why its not working. Has anyone any suggestions?

Your code works for me.

Are you aware that :

inFile >> nextInt;
startingChips=nextInt;

is duplicated?

Wow so dumb how did i miss that:eek:, thank you, works fine now. I was about to make a lot of changes to reading a comma separated file. Thank god for that:o
