I am trying to read the txt file: Form.txt , store each line using getline into the variable foo

This is the working program

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   fstream afile;
   afile.open("Form.txt",ios::in);

   string foo;


    while (getline(afile,foo,'\n') );
    {
        cout<<foo
            <<endl;

    }

}

Nothing gets printed to the console output , I am expecting

What is wrong with my code ??

Answer 1

You have a semicolon at the end of your while loop:

while (getline(afile, foo, '\n'));
//                               ^

This causes the extraction to be performed but only the when the loop ends does foo get printed. The last extraction doesn't extract anything which is why foo is empty, hence the empty output.
