Some simple hints in your code to help you, you will need to complete the code. But the missing pieces are easy to find at stackoverflow.
//main cpp file
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
splitLine(const char* str, vector<string> results){
// splits str and stores each value in results vector
}
int main()
{
ifstream fin;
fin.open("customers.txt");
char buffer[128];
if(fin.good()){
while(!fin.eof()){
fin.getline(buffer, 256);
cout << buffer << endl;
vector<string> results;
splitLine(buffer, results);
// now results MUST contain 4 strings, for each
// column in a line
}
}
return 0;
