in this project, we can add product information and save them into a file <product.txt>.notice that the file name can include space and it can be muluti_piece -->Ex)Samsung air conditioner. but for reading the name from file in the 'edit' Function I have to use getline function. but when I use getline in edit function for reading data, File entries are corrupted. how can I fix it ?

#include <iostream>

void edit(int& j)
{
int step = 0;
int price[100], number[100], code[100];

string name[100];
ifstream Product_For_read;

Product_For_read.open("C:\\PROJECTS\\PROJECT2\\ConsoleApplication1\\products.txt");
while (Product_For_read >> code[step])
{
    getline(Product_For_read,name[step],'\n'); // this Is the problem !!!!!!
    Product_For_read >> number[step];
    Product_For_read >> price[step];
    step  ;
}
Product_For_read.close();
int counter = step;
bool flag = false;
for (int step1 = 0; step1 <= counter; step1  )  // editing data from file
{
    if (step1 == j)
    {
        flag = true;
        cout << "\n edite the product name : \n";
        cin.ignore();
        getline(cin, name[step1], '\n');

        cout << "\nedite the product numebr  of count : ";
        cin >> number[step1];
        cout << "\nedite the product price : ";
        cin >> price[step1];

the way to solve this problem is put a Product_For_read.ignore(); on top the problem line .
