PLEASE HELP. Storing data from text file into array of structures *****SOLVED*****

Hello. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I an trying to store each line of text in a text file into array of structures, so that I can sort the data later on but it is not working. Here is an example of how the text file is layed out. Web Developer // JobTitle 7 // NumSkills PHP // Skills v HTML CSS Javascript jQuery JSON SQL 60000 // Salary Knox County Government // Company I want to store Web Developer into an array of jobs.jobTitle the next line I would like to store into jobs.NumSkills, and then I would like to loop depending on what is it NumSkills. and store that information into jobs.Skills, once the loop is finished I would like to store the next line into Salary, the next into Company. It is not working as JobTitle holds more than it should. Here is what I have for my loop. while (!in_stream.eof() && (count < MAX_LENGTH)){ in_stream.getline(jobs[count].jobTitle, MAX_LENGTH, '\0'); in_stream >> jobs[count].numSkills; for(int i = 0; i < jobs[count].numSkills; i++){ in_stream >> jobs[count].skills[i]; } in_stream >> jobs[count].salary; in_stream >> jobs[count].company; ++count; } I have got the whole code posted on Code Playground. https://code.sololearn.com/cGd0l3g25coL

@~ swim ~ Thank you!!! I added a for loop to loop through depending how many skills were listed, in the example 7. and then stop after it reaches the numSkills and continue to read the salary and company, then start back at jobTitle, and quitting at EOF.

this has been solved. I’ll post the finished code so you can see it. It doesn’t run well on sololearn due to multiple prompts

if anyone can help, my program is printing out only one job title when i have many, and is printing out memory addresses for the skills. the count also never stops. I changed the eof read out to what you suggested
