I have a text file that has multiple sets of book information (title, author, etc). I need to be able to use a loop to read from the file and assign each piece of info to a corresponding string. I have it working to where I goes through the entire file, it's just messing up while going through the file.
Book readOne(ifstream &fin) {
string titleOne;
getline(fin, titleOne, ',');
string firstOne;
getline(fin, firstOne, ',');
string lastOne;
getline(fin, lastOne, ',');
string formatOne;
getline(fin, formatOne, ',');
string pubDateOne;
getline(fin, pubDateOne, ',');
string priceOne;
getline(fin, priceOne);
Here is the text file:

My thinking was that it would read until a comma, assign that piece of info to the string, then continue. Instead, it outputs as if it didn't see certain commas.
