cant view string after read from file

[danersound]

i have a file.txt with some  text i want to read them and view in a render window with this function

 
    void textLoader (){
        bool dummy;
        string menuLine;
        ifstream infile;
        infile.open ("Tools/datiMenu.txt");
            while(!dummy){
                getline(infile,menuLine); // Saves the line in menuLine.
                cout<<menuLine <<endl;
                menu.setString(menuLine);
                dummy=infile.eof();
            }
        infile.close();
    }
 

the main part if I remove the comment from

// textLoader();

the line

 menu.setString("hello!!!");

is not visible any more!

int main(){

    RenderWindow window(VideoMode(1000, 600), "Scheduler Simulator",Style::Titlebar);

    fontLoad();
    menu.setString("hello!!!");
   // textLoader();
    menu.setCharacterSize(20);
    menu.setFillColor(Color::Red);

    while (window.isOpen()){ // main Loop
        Event event;

        while (window.pollEvent(event)){

            if (event.type == Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }
       window.clear(Color::Blue);
       window.draw(menu);
       window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

 

anyone can help me?

setString replaces the string, it doesn't concatenate. So only the last line will be visible. And since you don't iterate correctly to read from your file, this last line is most likely empty.

while (std::getline(infile, menuLine))
{
    ...
}
