For context, I am working on a reward system program for a store. I have a file which contains a list of items with the points the customer earns underneath the name of each item. Here is what the file contains:
rolling papers
1
lighter
1
silicone pipe
5
glass pipe
8
water pipe
10
I am trying to read from the file into two different variables then store those variables in a vector of pairs. But I've noticed that when I output the pairs from the vector the first letter of the item is missing, and the points are completely off. I've tried to change the point to a char instead of an int, and did the same in the paired vector. Both gave similarly inaccurate/strange outputs. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks guys. Here is the part of my program where I'm trying to store the items/points in a paired vector:
int answer;
int points;
std::string tempName;
std::string name;
std::string item;
std::ifstream inFS;
std::vector<std::string> nameList;
std::vector<std::pair<std::string, int>> pairedList;
std::cout << "Would you like to add points to a member's name? If not, input 0 to look at other options!" << std::endl;
std::cout<< "Otherwise, input 1 to continue to the point system." << std::endl;
std::cin >> answer;
if (answer == 0)
options();
if (answer == 1) {
inFS.open("items.dat");
if (inFS.is_open())
std::cout << "File opened successfully." << std::endl;
while (std::getline(inFS, item)) {
inFS >> points;
pairedList.push_back(make_pair(item, points));
}
if (!inFS.eof())
std::cout << "Not able to reach end of file" << std::endl;
inFS.close();
for (int i = 0; i < pairedList.size(); i++)
std::cout << pairedList[i].first << " " << pairedList[i].second << std::endl;
exit(1);
}
}

Try changing the inFS >> points for another std::getline(inFS, points_str) (notice you need a std::string points_str{};); then you can do a make_pair(item, std::stoi(points_str)). [Demo]
#include <iostream> // cout
#include <string> // getline, stoi
int main()
{
std::string item{};
std::string points{};
while (std::getline(std::cin, item))
{
std::getline(std::cin, points);
std::cout << "item = " << item << ", points = " << std::stoi(points) << "\n";
}
}
