I created a structure:

struct Player{
    int yearID;
    string teamID;
    string leagueID;
    string playerID;
    int salary;
    string firstName;
    string lastName;
    int birthYear;
    string brithCountry;
    int weight;
    int height;
    string bats;
    string throws;
};

I used the getline to skip the first line but I don't know how to deal with the rest of datas.

I want to implement this:

Player test;

test.yearID = 1985;

test.teamID = ATL;

test.leagueID = NL

...

Please help figure out, thank you!

PROGRAM CODE:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

struct Player{
int yearID;
string teamID;
string leagueID;
string playerID;
int salary;
string firstName;
string lastName;
int birthYear;
string brithCountry;
int weight;
int height;
string bats;
string throws;
};

string getWord(string* line, string* word)
{
   size_t found = line->find(",");
   if (found!=std::string::npos)
   {
       *word = line->substr (0,found);
       *line = line->substr (found+1);
      
   }
   else
   {
       *word = *line;
       *line = "";
   }
   return *line;
}

void read()
{
   ifstream in("Player.txt");
   string line, word;
   getline(in, line);
   Player test;
   while(getline(in, line))
   {
       line = getWord(&line, &word);
       test.yearID = atoi(word.c_str());
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.teamID = word;
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.leagueID = word;
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.playerID = word;
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.salary = atoi(word.c_str());
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.firstName = word;
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.lastName = word;
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.birthYear = atoi(word.c_str());
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.brithCountry = word;
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.weight = atoi(word.c_str());
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.height = atoi(word.c_str());
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.bats = word;
       line = getWord(&line,& word);
       test.throws = word;
   }
}
int main() {
   read();
   return 0;
}
