Help Please

Hi all.

I'm supposed to write a program that reads info (name, gender, school, and test scores) from a file and outputs the average test scores of different groups (males, university students, etc.).

I've done a lot of reading but am still pretty stumped in a lot of ways.

I know I need to use a while loop so the program keeps reading data until the end of the file, but I don't know how set it up so the program saves the data as the appropriate type and can read several lines of data without having a variable for each piece of data. Keeping to beginner functions. Only in Ch 5 of D.S. Malik C++ Programming

For example, if I have a line in the input file like this:

Tabatha F CC 75

I need to be able to use that score of 75 to figure out average scores for all females.

I know I'm not giving you a lot to go on, but any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Here is what I have so far.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
	
	int counter;
	string schoolType;
	char sex;
	double score;
	double aveCC, aveUN;
	double totalCC, totalUN;
	double sumCC, sumUN;
	double totalScore, highScore, averageScore;
	string line;
	string inputPathName;
	ifstream inputFile;
	ifstream dataIn;
	int countUN, countCC; 
	string studentName;

do {
		cout << "Please enter input path name: ";
		cin >> inputPathName;
		dataIn.open(inputPathName.c_str());
		if (!dataIn.is_open()) {
			cout << "File open failed" << endl;
		}
	} while (!dataIn.is_open());	
	
	while (getline(dataIn, line)) {
		cout << line << endl;	
		counter = 0;
		counter++;
	}
	while (!inputFile.eof()){
		//inputFile >> city >> state >> price;
		inputFile >> sex >> schoolType >> score;
		if (schoolType == "CC"){
			aveCC = totalCC / sumCC;
			countCC++;
		}
		else if (schoolType == "UN"){
			aveUN = totalUN / sumUN;
			countUN++;
		}
		else cout << "Invalid State";
	}

	cout << "There are " << counter << " students in the class" << endl;
	if (counter >= 1) {
		averageScore = (totalScore/counter);
