If your open is failing, then your input file is probably not in the right place.

Since you're using an unqualified file name (textfile1.txt), it should be in the same directory as your executable.

You just need an endl in your cout statement.

It's not a good idea to loop on eof(). Other errors may occur meaning the eof flag is never set.

Instead of this:
1
2
3
4

    while(!infile.eof())
    {
        infile >> id >> u >> yrs;
        if (infile.fail())
            break;

it is better to do this:
1
2
 
    while (infile >> id >> u >> yrs)
    {
