[C++] Reading text file into a struct.

[Sara J]

Hello Codecall.

First post and all. I'm having a little trouble here with a program I'm currently writing.
Basically I want to read data from text-file into two variables in a struct.

The text file is formated in the following way:

var1 [TAB] var2

The problem occurs when var2 is longer than one word and it doesn't really read the data into the struct.
Anyhow, would really appreciate some help or be pointed in the right direction.

Here's the textfile.

DVD	Kidmovie 1
Blu-Ray	Spam Kings 2000
VHS	The Short Road

Here's my program.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;
struct movieData{
	string mType;
	string mName;
};

void writeData(vector<movieData>& inData);

int main()
{
    vector<movieData> inData;
	writeData(inData);
	
	
	system("Pause");
    return 0;
}


void writeData(vector<movieData>& inData){

	
	ifstream inFile;
	inFile.open("filmdb.txt");
		if (!inFile){
			cout << "Could not find the file.\n";
		}
		else{
			inData.clear();
			movieData tmpData;
			while (getline(inFile, tmpData.mName) && getline(inFile, tmpData.mType)){ 
			
		
			inData.push_back(tmpData);					
			}
		}

	//(getline(inFil, tmpData.mName) && getline(inFil, tmpData.mType))
	//inFil >> tmpData.mType >> tmpData.mName	
		

		if (inData.empty()){
			cout << "\nNo data found!\n";
			}
		else{
			cout << "\nWriting output:\n";
			for (int i = 0; i < inData.size(); i++){
				cout << inData.at(i).mType << '\t' << "- " << inData.at(i).mName << endl;
			}
		}
	}

The >> operator stops on whitespace. So it will stop on the space after the frst word.

To read an entire buffer of some length use getline().
