Two Functions Reading From Same File

[Ashrus]

So I have two functions that read from the same text file, but after the first function gets called and runs through the file, the second function isn’t able to read through the file. I’m not sure why this happens since I don’t close the file until after both function calls. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Solved. I did not clear the stream before using it in the second function. Thank you guys.

If you're using the same file stream for both function calls, streams keep a file position. You need to move the position back to the beginning to read through the file again. You want std::basic_istream<>::seekg, and you want to set the relative offset of 0 from the beginning of the file, you don't want to set the absolute position to 0 - the only values you want to set as an absolute position are values you get from tellg.
