Question

Hello there, i have a programming assignment i need help with. here is the assignment followed by my code:

Write a program that prompts the user for a file path to a file that contains data. The data should be several lines where each line is a name followed by two numbers, such as:

Tom 4.4 3.3

Larry 6 9.32

Mary 22.3 55.65

Example #1

Please enter the data file path: C:Tempdata.txt

The file contents are:

Tom 4.4 3.3

Larry 6 9.32

Mary 22.3 55.65

Here is my code so far:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

   string filename;
   string line;
  
  
   cout << "Please enter the data file path :";
   cin >> filename;
   ifstream file(filename);
   string name;
   double num1;
   double num2;
   if (file.is_open())
   {
       while (file >> name >> num1 >> num2)
       {
           cout << name << " " << num1 << " " << num2;
       }
       file.close();
   }
   system("pause");
}

it isnt displaying any files so I'm a little lost.
