help please with c++ file i/o

[raxsun]

hi, I am having trouble with file input to the array I made in the
program.

1. I want to measure how much data are there in the file, and

2. put all the datas into array. (number of array is same as the number
of columns of data)

the file looks somewhat like this.

0.00000000E+0 -5.00000000E+1 3.33823774E-15

2.60000000E+1 -4.74000015E+1 7.94155984E-15

it goes on much more..............

the first column represents time, second voltage, and third current.

so I want to make voltage[n], current[n] where n represents the

number of data for voltage, current.....

Actually what makes it difficult is that I must change the data format
into double,

because they are all written in the format x.xxxxxE+-x

but maybe I can get through with that problem only if I know WHAT
FUNCTION TO USE.

Please at least could somebody tell me the functions in the fstream
class that

I need to use??

I am stuck with my program for several days, because of this part.

Searching in the web or books didn't help much;;

Using an ifstream (input file stream) you can just use >to load the number
into a double. It excepts the scientific format. I hope this isn't
homework, because here's the solution. At first I thought it was doing
something wrong because the output doesn't look like the input, then I
realized that

Thank you so much for the reply.

It really works even after I changed it for my program.

The part " while ( DataFile >d1 >d2 >d3 )"

was impossible for me to make.

I didn't know it was that simple!!
