C++ TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS: How to read a file and store the records in a string

The program works as follows:

- openbook.txt must have records to read input from
- the program opens the input file for reading
- while condition is used to keep on reading while it's not yet end of the file
- if a record is read, the getline command is used to store in string record
- cout command is used to display on the screen the record read

Source code:

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

int main()
{
string record;
ifstream inputfile;

inputfile.open("openbook.txt");

if (inputfile.is_open())
{
 while (!inputfile.eof())
  {
   getline(inputfile, record);
   cout << record << endl;
  }
}
inputfile.close();
return 0;
}
