C++ assignment problems :(

[shadowsoulja]

okay, ive been going okay on my assignment, but ive just run into a problem.

i need to read a file into my program, the data from the file is to be read, and then randomised to produce "match data" for some matches.

im not too sure on how to do this.

i have tested reading the file in and outputting it onto the program, but it seems to read the data vertically rather than line by line :S which causes even more of a problem.

my code.

fclose (inputdata);

}

of course, the code isnt quite complete anyways, but i need to get this reading and randomising sorted... the rest should fall into place.

maybe i should read the file into a seperate function?? i dont know... help lol
