[asbsean]

This should be my input file
John Smith A
Sue Jones C
Ray Adams B
And this should be my output file
Smith, John, Zone A, $75.00
Jones, Sue, Zone C, $30.00
Adams, Ray, Zone B, $55.00
Total Charges: $160.00

What file won't open?

How do you know the file won't open, since you never check to insure that the files opened properly?

[asbsean]

It just showed up as a blank file its not extracting the information

[jlb]

What "just showed up as a blank file"?

You need to check the streams to insure that the files opened correctly. Just assuming that files open correctly is one of the biggest problems when dealing with files.

Also please fix the code tags in your first post, as presented your code is very difficult to read.

[asbsean]

It is opening but it is reading the file as blank

[jlb]

How do you know it is opening? Where are you checking that the files opened correctly?

I showed you the problem in your other post. Why two posts?
