store values inputted with getline() in variables in struct

[gdarian216]

I am trying to read in inputs from a file to my program. I have declared a struct that holds a string and some arrays.

struct records
{
        string name;
        float quizzes[7];
        float projects[6];
        float exams[2];
        float labs[14];
};

I was wondering how to read in the a string of letters and then store the scores in the arrays.

This is what I have so far if anyone can help

int main()
{
        // Ask the user for a file name
        cout << "Enter a file name: ";
        string record;
        cin >> record;
        cout << record;
 
        // Define a file input stream and open the file
        ifstream inStream(record.c_str());
 
        if (!inStream)
        {
        // Failed to open the file (file doesn't exist or isn't readable)
        cout << "Could not open file: " << record  << "\n";
        exit(1);
        }
 
        string line;
 
                //declare saved variables for averages.
 
 
        // Repeatedly get characters from the file
        while(! inStream.eof())
        {
        getline(inStream, line);
                //function for inputing info in struct.
                //function for averaging and storing info.
 
        }
 
    // Close the file
    inStream.close();
 
 
    return 0;
}

Hi,
You can use sscanf to read the variables from a string and store it into values.
