C++ help

Eos, it's \r\n, not \n\r. At any rate, check the newlines in the file.

An alternate option if you're trying to optimize disk usage would be to use strtok after reading the whole file into memory. Then with the string returned from strtok, use sscanf. Eos's way can read a file of up to whatever your file system can handle. Mine trades memory consumption for speed.

To increase clarity, you can also use a struct.

Code:

struct Scores
{
    int count;
    double total;
}

Then in the function.

Code:

int main(void)
{
    struct Scores Men;
    struct Scores Women;

    ...
}

Then in the loop:

Code:

            switch ( gender )
            {
                case 'm':
                    Men.scores += score;
                    Men.count++;
                    break;
                case 'f':
                    Women.scores += score;
                    Women.count++;
                    break;
            }
