code stuck at getline...

[praneshiitm]

my code is not moving past the line below...actually i am making a quiz and this piece of code id checking whether the entered answer is correct, from a file.
please tell me the possible reason for the problem..

getline(anss,saveans);

while(a<1)
			{
				getline(anss,saveans); 
				if (saveans == ToString(randNum))
				{
					getline(anss,saveans);
					if (saveans == ans)
					{
						cout<<"correct!"<<endl; 
						cout<<"# next question # "<<endl;
					}
					else
					{
						cout<<"wrong answer!"<<endl; // Prints our STRING
						cout<<"# next question # "<<endl;
					}
						break;
				}
			}

Point some breakpoints in your code and step through the code in a debugger. If you do this, the errors will become obvious.

I have tried it and found that it is not able to read the file that stores the answers...I cannot find the reason since the similar code is working in other part of my code that uses a different file...pls help

Rather than reading the file one question at a time, read the whole file and store each line in a collection.
