Reading variables from txt file and saving them into the class objects as arrays c++

Question

I am trying to get variables from a txt file which looks like;

1 Prince Heins 25
2 Lady Bridgette 29
3 Tony Ann 223
4 Lucy Phoenix 35

and here is my code but i can not get the variables from txt file to myArray. I created them with the number of line by using getline and linenumber is equal to linecount . Then i created many objects which is equal to linecount number. Next step was getting the variables from txt file line by line and i tried to use while(pbin) which is my read function. I am trying to send variables to class by using set functions which includes my strings and integer but i get an compile error:[Error] no match for 'operator>>' (operand types are 'std::ifstream {aka std::basic_ifstream}' and 'void') I checked the examples but none of them solved my issue. Couldn't get the issue and fix it. I would be glad if someone helps.

Answer 1

Add to contact a >> overload

    friend std::istream & operator>> (std::istream & in, contact & con)
    {
        in >> con.listno >> con.name >> con.surname >> con.phonenumber;
        return in;
    }

and then in main, the for loop becomes

        for(i=0;i<linecount;i++){
            if (! (pbin >> myArray[i]))
            { // failed to read a contact
                // do something here to clean up the mess
            }
        }

To round out a couple of the other mistakes,

int main(){
    ifstream pbin("phoneData2.txt");
    string line;
    long linecount = 0; // otherwise you don't know what number linecount starts at
    contact* myArray = new contact[linecount];
    for(linecount=0;getline(pbin,line);linecount++);
    pbin.clear(); // Clear the error flag from hitting the end of the file
                  // Needed when building to older C++ Standards
    pbin.seekg(0); // rewind the file
    if(pbin.is_open()){
        int i;
        for(i=0;i<linecount;i++){
            if (! (pbin >> myArray[i]))
            {
                // do something here to clean up the mess
            }

        }
    }
    pbin.close();

    return 0;
}
