This function is supposed to open a file stream and copy the text into an integer array to be used for a map key. Here is the contents of the file. I am getting the decimal value stored in the array and I just cannot figure out how to correct the problem. I tried casting, atoi(), and other stuff, but I am still not figuring it out.

void map::initMapKey()
{
	j_mapFile.open( jMapName, std::ios_base::in);		// open the file for storing
	j_mapFile.flags( std::ios_base::dec);

	if(!j_mapFile.is_open() )
	{
		cout << "File could not be opened!";
	}
	else{

		for(int i=0;i<jMaxRows;i++)					// loop for each row
		{
			for(int j=0;j<jMaxCols;j++)
			{	
				int myInt = j_mapFile.get();
				j_mapKey[i][j] = myInt;
			}
					
		
		}
	}
	j_mapFile.close();
}

You're reading into an integer and each line contains an integer. Even though you didn't explain what you actually want I assume you mean to read each individual digit into the j_mapKey array. If so, read each digit as a char and convert to an integer by subtracting 48.
