Try using a
Since you seem to know code tags, you should be aware that for really good help you need to post your code...
while look for the first loop instead. A for loop implies you know how many times you need to go through the loop. A while implies you exit the loop when some criteria is satisfied, such as you reached the end-of-file (EOF).Since you seem to know code tags, you should be aware that for really good help you need to post your code...

Well. Regardless of the loop kind (assuming it's allowed to iterate enough times), it should read in the info:
Where in is your input file stream and word is something used to store the information of the file.
while ( in >> word ) std::cout<< word;

{
infile.get(name, 20);
}

you will need an array of strings. There's a couple ways to do it
// this array will hold up to 100 names and each name can be up to 19 characters long. char names[100][20]; // This is a c++ array that can contain an unlimited (almost) number of names // and each name can be unlimited (almost) length vector<string> names;
