    	cout << "Survey Results: " << endl << endl; 
    
    
    	cout << left << setw(14) << "Name" << "\t\t" << "Results" << endl;
    
    
    	while (inFile)
    	{
    		
    		TCount = tallyCount1 + tallyCount2 + tallyCount3;
    		TMark = (tallyCount1 + tallyCount2 + tallyCount3) / 3;
    
    
    		sum = sum + TMark; 
    		count++; 
    
    	
    		cout << left << setw(13) << FName << setw(4) << LName << right << setw(13) << TCount << endl;
    
    
    		
    		inFile >> FName >> LName;
    		inFile >> tallyCount1 >> tallyCount2 >> tallyCount3;
    
    	} 
    	
    	cout << "\nPress any key to continue...";
    	_getch();
    
    
    	return 0;
    }

The program needs to be able to read the middle names within the text file named Info2.txt

Simply adding the Mname or any related value where the other to name values doesn't do anything and only the 1st line appears on the output.

That is the correct way it appears in the text file. Also I know it's commented out, but that just to keep the program from crashing.

    Survey Results:

    Don  Jon	    33.00


This is the Info1.txt file info by the way.

and the output

    Bill C		42.00
    Jara C		52.00
    Lu E		35.00
    Chow B	    42.00



Which when ran with Info1 selected, it is the correct output I'm looking for.


I've tried getline and other solutions and they didn't work.

The difference between fields is a HT character. The name field contains at least one name, but it is still a single field -- there are no tabs in it.

Unfortunately, your code requires there to be exactly two fields -- no more, no less.

Instead, try reading the entire field, then splitting it into first, middle, last names.

string FName, MName, LName;
{
  string name;
  getline( inFile, name, '\t' );
  istringstream ss( name );
  ss >> FName;
  ss >> MName;
  ss >> LName;
  if (LName.empty()) swap( MName, LName );
}
// now you can read the remaining data using the ws-delimited extraction operator:
inFile >> tallyCount1 >> ...

Hope this helps.
