Reading text file

Hi all,

I'm trying to read a simple text file to a dynamic array(self built class) of employee records (self built class) but have not succeeded. As I debug, the program didn't read anything from the file to the temporary variables (not touching any class here).

I've tried the sample of some of the solution posted here but they didn't help. I'd really appreciate that if any of you experts can help me make this program work.

I'm attaching the code of these files.

#include <iostream>
#include "EmpRec.h"
#include "Array.h"*/

void main()
{
      Array a;
      a.Read ("database.txt");
      a.Print ();
}

The text file looks like:
