It's late and my brain is failing. What am I doing wrong in this function? I'm trying to use getline(my professor's demand) to pull lines from an external text file called inventoryData.

while (!inventoryData.eof() )
{
getline(inventoryData, tempInventory.itemName);
getline(inventoryData, tempInventory.quantity);
getline(inventoryData, tempInventory.price);

location = hashKey(tempInventory.IDCode);

The error I'm getting during compiling is that there is no matching function for call to 'getline(std::fstream&, double&)'

I found it.  I was trying to use the <string> library's getline, when I needed to use the ofstream function.  *facepalm*
