quick 2 dimensional array help

[haozang]

the file looks like this, the first column is the first element
the columns after are scores

1h 0.7 0.4 0.2 0.4 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3
1as 0.7 0.4 0.2 0.4 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3
1df 0.7 0.4 0.2 0.5 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3
1d 0.7 0.4 0.2 0.5 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3
1cz 0.7 0.4 0.2 0.6 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3
1v 0.7 0.4 0.2 1.1 -0.2 -0.4 -0.6
2dj 0.7 0.4 0.2 1.3 -0.2 -0.4 -0.6
2e 0.7 0.4 0.2 1.3 -0.2 -0.4 -0.6
2wo 0.7 0.6 0.3 1.8 -0.3 -0.6 -0.9
2n 0.7 0.6 0.3 1.8 -0.3 -0.6 -0.9
2pz 0.7 0.6 0.3 2.1 -0.3 -0.6 -0.9

the function that i'm trying to do looks like this, so far..

int inputData(ifstream& inFile, string name[], double scores[][7]) 
{ 
int number = 0; 

inFile>>name[number]

return number; 
} 

how would i read this into the program using inFile????
i used getline but thats not working so far
thanks in advance
