Reading two columns in CSV file in c++ -

i have csv file in form of 2 columns: name, age

to read , store info, did this

struct person {     string name;     int age; } person record[10]; ifstream read("....file.csv"); 

however, when did

read >> record[0].name; read.get(); read >> record[0].age; 

read>>name gave me whole line instead of name. how possibly avoid problem can read integer age?

thank you!

you can first read whole line std:getline, parse via std::istringstream (must #include <sstream>), like

std::string line; while (std::getline(read, line)) // read whole line line {     std::istringstream iss(line); // string stream     std::getline(iss, record[0].name, ','); // read first part comma, ignore comma     iss >> record[0].age; // read second part } 

below working general example tokenizes csv file live on ideone

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <sstream> #include <string> #include <vector>  int main() {     // in case you'll have file     // std::ifstream ifile("input.txt");     std::stringstream ifile("user1, 21, 70\nuser2, 25,68");       std::string line; // read full line here     while (std::getline(ifile, line)) // read current line     {         std::istringstream iss{line}; // construct string stream line          // read tokens current line separated comma         std::vector<std::string> tokens; // here store tokens         std::string token; // current token         while (std::getline(iss, token, ','))         {             tokens.push_back(token); // add token vector         }          // can process tokens         // first display them         std::cout << "tokenized line: ";         (const auto& elem : tokens)             std::cout << "[" << elem << "]";         std::cout << std::endl;          // map tokens our variables, applies scenario         std::string name = tokens[0]; // first string, no need further processing         int age = std::stoi(tokens[1]); // second int, convert         int height = std::stoi(tokens[2]); // same third         std::cout << "processed tokens: " << std::endl;         std::cout << "\t name: " << name << std::endl;         std::cout << "\t age: " << age << std::endl;         std::cout << "\t height: " << height << std::endl;     } }
