I can''t find out why this is misbehaving. The problem is that it will read from a text file ten "words" then keep reading but the word objects are empty. Its not a problem with the text file because if I remove the first 10 words it still will only read in 10. I''m basiclly making a mini dictionary so i can practice using files and search methods. Thanks guys

I just tried this.. and it worked (with a 20 definition file)
#include <stdlib.h> #include <cstring>#include <fstream>#include <iostream>void readFile();class word{ public: void dispWord(); char word[20], def[700];};void word::dispWord(){ std::cout<<"Word: "<<word<<std::endl<<"Definition: "<<def<<std::endl<<std::endl;}int main (){readFile();system("pause");}void readFile(){std::ifstream fin;word *database= new word[23231];//23231unsigned long i=0;fin.open("a.txt");while(fin.peek()!=EOF&&i<23231){fin.getline(database.word,20,'')'' );<br>fin.getline(database.def,700,''\n'');<br>database.dispWord();<br>i++; <br>}<br>fin.close();<br>delete[] database;<br>} <br></pre><!–ENDSCRIPT–><br><br>I would however recommend that you store the words and definitions in strings (to let words/definitions be arbitrarily long). Also store the words themselves (database) in a vector, to let the dictionary be arbitrarily large.
Sorry, I didn''t read your post very carefully. But, do check if you suffer from this: http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=190308 (if applicable in your case)
