Problems reversing numbers in outfile

[SoloXX]

Hey all,

First, I am in a C++ course and in my 7th week. I have a project that is due real soon but I am absolutely stuck on one part of an fstream console program. The part I'm having trouble in is reversing the numbers INTO a file I named "outFile_Reverse" from a file that contains the 5 numbers to be reversed in a file named "inFile_1".

The problem is that I get an unexpected output in my outFile_Reverse. After I run my program and open the outFile_Reverse file, it displays the last number 5 times when it should list them in reversed order!

What am I doing wrong? Perhaps my "for loop" logic is jacked??

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

cout <<"\n\n\n=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-FSTREAM=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=" <<endl;

cout <<"\nThis portion of the program will:\n\n" <<endl;

cout <<"1. Read 5 numbers FROM a text file" <<endl;
cout <<"2. Write the numbers in reverse order to a SECOND file" <<endl;
cout <<"3. Read 5 words in from a THIRD file" <<endl;
cout <<"4. Display results of words to the CONSOLE\n\n" <<endl;

    ifstream inFile_1;               	// File we are reading the numbers from
    ifstream inFile_2;                  // File we are reading the words from
    ofstream outFile_Reverse;           // File to use for reverse number output
	
    string numbers_1;                   // Name of number txt file
    string words_1;                     // Name of words txt fileLi
    int num1, num2, num3, num4, num5;   // Declaring variables to read numbers from stored file
    string w1, w2, w3, w4 ,w5;          // Declaring variables to read words from stored file	
    int counter;
	
     inFile_1.open("numbers_1.txt", ios::skipws);                // File stream variable to open numbers_1.txt file to read
     inFile_2.open("words_1.txt" , ios::skipws);                  // File stream varibale to open words_1.txt file to read
     outFile_Reverse.open("outFile_Reverse.txt");   // File stream variable to display reversed numbers into this outFile.
			   

   /***********************************************************************************************
   	 outData file to display words_1 is not needed; displaying directly to console from inFile_2.
	***********************************************************************************************/
	
		for (counter = 0; counter < 5; counter++)
		{
			inFile_1 >> numbers_1;		
		}

	outFile_Reverse <<"The numbers reversed are: ";

		for (counter = 4 ; counter >= 0; counter--)
		{
			outFile_Reverse << numbers_1 <<" ";	
		}
			
    cout <<"\nPlease check the outFile_Reverse file to verify the numbers have been reversed."; 

		
	inFile_1.close();         // Closes numbers_1.txt file
	inFile_2.close();         // Closes words_1.txt file
	outFile_Reverse.close();  // Closes outfile
		
cin.get();
cin.get();
return 0;
}

Lines 38-41: you are reading 5 numbers, but all of them into the same variable (numbers_1).
Lines 45-48: you are writing 5 numbers--all of them numbers_1. numbers_1 is an integer that
can store only one number at a time.

Thanks jmsith. Got it working now!
