Question

I am trying to import data from a file in my project but I am having trouble finding EOF. Firstly, I used the EOF function as a condition but I after reading this, I tried changed the code but still it is giving same error. Please help me out.
Thanks

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
class Rooms;
class Guest;
class MeetingRoomGuest;
Rooms* r_ptr[999];
int r_count=0;

ofstream infile("new.txt",ofstream::binary);
while(infile.read((char *)(&r_ptr[r_count]),sizeof(Rooms)))
{   
    r_count++;
}
infile.close(); 
int main ()
{
    // some code here
    return 0;
}

ERROR:

error C2059: syntax error : ‘while’

UPDATE:
Please let me know if this is a better implementation?Thanks

int main()
{
    r_ptr[r_count]= new Rooms;
    while(infile.read((&r_ptr[r_count]),sizeof(Rooms)))
    {   
        r_ptr[++r_count]= new Rooms;
        r_count++;
    }
    infile.close(); 
    //some code here
}

I am still getting an error,

ERROR:

error C2039: ‘read’ : is not a member of ‘std::basic_ofstream<_Elem,_Traits>’

UPDATE:
Thanks alot. The code has finally fixed,here is the final implementation,

int main()
{
    r_ptr[r_count]= new Rooms;
    while(infile.read((char *)(&r_ptr[r_count]),sizeof(Rooms)))
    {   
        r_count++;
        r_ptr[r_count]= new Rooms;

    }
    infile.close(); 
    // some work
}

It seems you have one or two syntax problems:

1. you’ve got code outside of a function or main (the while and infile commands) they need to be put into main or a function.

2. your second while needs a do (do{....}while(1), also it runs forever

3. All your variables are defined outside of main. This makes them global variables, a thing to be avoided as much as possible. They should be moved inside main as well

4. ofstream are used to Output to a file, you want a ifstream to get Input from a file
