getline

[xsoul5x]

while ( getline ( infile, buffer ) ) {
// Process the line
}

I'm reading a file from the stream to display in the console, but it only displays the first line how do I display the other lines?

You should be able to check for eof.

while (!infile.eof())
{
//read line from infile and process.
}

changed my post. Have a look.

1) the original code is correct. Supply a short program and a sample
input file showing the error

2) It is almost always an error in logic to put the eof() check as shown
in the second post (as you need to check for eof() inside the loop
also when reading in that way.

Remember eof() is only true after ATTEMPTING to read past EOF.
