Help with Baseball Program

Raioner (16)
Hey all I'm having some real trouble wrapping my head around how to go about this assignment. I have to create a baseball program that shows a baseball players stats(that are pulled from a file) and put their stats in parallel arrays. Here is what I have so far and I've been working on this program for well over 8 hours. I tried asking my teacher for help through email but she just says that the problem I'm trying to get over is the "biggest hurdle" and doesn't help beyond that.

I got the program to open the file and pull the names into a string and place that string into the output file. But i can't seem to figure out how to get the player numbers etc. to be placed in parallel arrays. Every time I run this program it spits out the names and then puts the numbers below all the names and the numbers are just random numbers that make no sense. Any help is much appreciated.

It looks like in your read loop (27-48) you try to read all the names, then all the first numbers, then all the second numbers. You need to read a name, a number, a number, a number, a number, then loop and start reading a name again.
Raezzor (304)
Are you supposed to change the format of the output in the output file? If so you might want to pull the output and work on that separately from the input loops. But like Zhuge said, you should do each line on it's own then move to the next. This way you'll only need one for loop to read in each of the 4 pieces of data. Then you can write another loop to output it however you want. If the format has to remain the same, including spaces to pad the columns a bit, that's a slightly different problem though.

I need the output to look like this

Where the names are one array all the way down, the numbers are another array all the way down, etc.
Raezzor (304)
Number doesn't necessarily need to be an array, there's way to simply use a variable that's incremented in a loop to output the number of each record as you output it. But ya, I'd handle the input in a single for loop, then move on to another loop to output everything (well, except for the lines that aren't players... those can be outputted outside of the loop obviously.)
Raioner (16)
Those numbers are just examples the numbers will be something can be changed in the input file.

is what i put in there now and its starting to look better but
