Reading a file

Okay well I have a file that reads bowling scores and it assumes that each person is taking turns

its formatted as so

John
Mary
Derick
Dougless
7 2 10 7 3 9 1 9 0 9 1 5 5 9 1 5 3 6 4 8 1 10 7 2 10 10 9 1 8 2 9 1 4 4 9 1 5 3 10 6 4 10 5 2 10 8 2 4 4 4 4 8 2 10 10 0 7 10 5 5 7 2 3 5 10 9 1 8 2 7 8 1

What I want to do is find out a way in which I can keep the names and numbers in a separate array for instances I have something as

Name[0] = John
Frame[0] = 7,2

The thing is I am completly new the system IO for C++ can anyone help?

Code:

---

Frame[0] = 7,2

---

1) All C++ statements end in a semi-colon
2) You have to declare the type of the Frame array. If you declare it as an int type, then all the elments of the array have to int's. That means, you can assign int's to the elements of the array. However,

7,2

is not an int--nor any other recognizable type in C++.

I suggest you forget about reading from a file for the time being. Instead, put all the scores into an array, and read the scores from the array. Once you get your program working that way, you can then tackle the problem of reading scores from a file.

It also looks like you are totally new to the concept of an array which is a basic data structure in any programming language, so doing some beginning programs using arrays would be the wiser course before attempting this program.
