Any suggestions on how I should read in this file?.:Resolved:.

Hello everyone, I have a file set up like this:

100 93
43 30
80 70
... ...
these grades are seperated by a tab character, the first column is lab 1, the second column is lab 2, I want to seperate these 2 columns and manipulate them seperately, like, I will have to find the average of them, the mode of them, and the min and max of each lab, any idea's? I was trying to seperate them into 2 different arrays, but thats not working too well!

int array1[500];
	int array2[500];
	int one;
	int two;
	char ch;
	char newline;
	int i =0; 

	while(!inFile.eof())
	{
		inFile >>one>>ch>>two>>newline;
		array1[i] = one;
		array2[i] = two;
		i++;

	}

thanks!

Try this: when you try to read an integer, it will skip whitespaces and newline to get to the next one. You made it too hard :P

int array1[500];
	int array2[500];
	int one;
	int two;
	int i =0; 

	while(!inFile.eof())
	{
		inFile >> one >>two;
		array1[i] = one;
		array2[i] = two;
		i++;

	}

Why even the temps?

int array1[500];
int array2[500];
int i =0; 

while(!inFile.eof())
{
	inFile >> array1[i] >> array2[i];
	++i;
}

they really weren't needed, at the time it just came to me to use temps for some reason, when this problem comes up on the final i'll discard of them! thanks!
