Moving integers into three columns from a text file in C++

Question

We were told to create a game for an assignment and display it into a chart. We were given a txt. file that displays the game scores as game1, game2, and game3 in columns with the scores. After filling in the code to open the txt. file and display the scores, all the integers display in one column. I don't know how to make them display into three columns.

This is the txt. file to display the scores in three columns to also appear in the output window:

187  162  171
199  123  175
151  126  165
136  121  149
177  181  187
173  173  173
181  188  172
196  197  199
199  200  193
199  200  200
162  171  180
117  162  156
161  179  192
151  159  163
185  184  189
173  169  168
184  189  171
165  141  157
192  194  196
191  163  164
173  174  161
153  141  137
191  196  194
199  200  199
106  104  1
133  142  140
108  106  118

This is my code:

ifstream infile;
        
infile.open("teams.txt");
        
if (infile.fail()) 
    {
        cout << "teams.txt did not open" << endl;
        exit (-1);
    }
                
int score;
                    
infile >> score;
                    
while (infile)
    {
        cout << score << endl;
            
        infile >> score;
        cout << score << endl;
                
        infile >> score;
        cout << score << endl;
                
        cout << endl;
    }
            
infile.close();                     

In the output window, it displays:

187
162

As you can see, 187, 162, and 171 are game1, game2, and game3 scores, but appear together instead of separate. Also, I'm not sure why it is repeating the last digit as the first one after the line break.

Any help will be appreciated

Answer 1

Try something more like this:

ifstream infile("teams.txt");
if (!infile) 
{
    cout << "teams.txt did not open" << endl;
    exit (-1);
}
                
int score1, score2, score3;
                    
while (infile >> score1 >> score2 >> score3)
{
    // format the output however you want...
    cout << score1 << '\t' << score2 << '\t' << score3 << endl;
}
            
infile.close();
