How do I derive an output other than \"Something wrong while opening the file.\"

Question

How do I derive an output other than "Something wrong while opening the file." The program run successful, but always defaults to that closing cout. I don't quite understand where the loop could have gone. Can you explain for me, please? //Using a file test #includec iostream» #include #include using namespace std; int mainO string each_line; //Opening a file in read mode ifstream infile("testfile"); //Checking if file opened successfully if (infile.is_open()) //Reading in line from input file while (infile >> each_line) //Dislaying each line read cout

Explanation / Answer

I think the file might be missing from the working directory. I typed the above code in Codeblocks and got the error "Something wrong while opening the file".

Then I created the file and entered the contents, and run it again, then I got it to work and I got the output. The ide you are using might have configurations to read the file, from a particular place, or the file might be missing. I am attaching my code, the testfile, the output and the directory structure as image.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string each_line;
    ifstream infile("testfile");
    if(infile.is_open()){
        while(infile >> each_line)
            cout << endl << each_line;
        infile.close();
    }
    else{
        cout << endl << "Something wrong while opening the file" << endl;
    }
}

Output:
I
am
from
test
file.
Please
print
me.
Process returned 0 (0x0)   execution time : 0.031 s
Press any key to continue.
