    Question Program not reading file input :?

    The following it code for my programming assignment with one problem that I know of and maybe some i don't....The problem I'm asking for help with is getting it to read the file input to use as commands, but I'm having no luck and i don't know why so any help as to figuring out this problem would be greatly appreciated :

    Code:
     
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <iomanip>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    const int COLS = 30;
    const int ROWS = 30; 
    const int LIMIT =15;
    
    void moveTurtle(int turtle[][COLS]);
    void DrawFloor(int floor[][COLS]);
    void Move(int floor[][COLS],int, int, bool,int&, int&);
    
    int main(){
        int turtleGride[ROWS][COLS];
        
        moveTurtle(turtleGride);
        system("PAUSE");
    }//end main
    
    void moveTurtle(int Turtle[][COLS]){                    //1
         ifstream infile;
         infile.open("turtle.dat");
         
         bool pen = false;
         int Face = 1,
             command,
             floor[ROWS][COLS] = {0},
             x,
             y;
         for(int j = 0; j < LIMIT ; j++){                //2
                 while (infile >> command && !infile.eof()){  //3
                 cout << command <<endl;
                       switch(command){                      //4
                              case 1:
                                  pen = false;
                                  break;
                              case 2:
                                   pen = true;
                                   break;
                              case 3:
                                   Face++;
                                   Face = Face%4;
                                   break;
                              case 4:
                                   Face--;
                                   Face = (Face < 0 ? 4: Face);
                                   break;

    The best way to get help is to say what is wrong, not that something is wrong.
    Learn to debug, place couts throughout the program letting you know what's happening on the inside. When you see something go wrong, you'll at least know were the problem is, which makes fixing it a possibility.
