Copying and Displaying an array from text file

Hi, I'm having a little bit of trouble copying data from a text file and displaying it in an array. Not sure how to proceed further and any help would be appreciated.

void CopyRecords (string filename, RECORD &p)

	for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
		cout << x[i].Name << " " << x[i].Age << " " << x[i].Gpa << endl;
}

how to proceed further

How about describing in words what you've already done and what you need to do further but do not know how?

It is not good idea to show some code and tell "I stuck somewhere here - and I'm curious what to do"

I found this power point tutorial really helpful. I'm having the same problem with one of my projects, and it lays out step by step.

This is what I've changed so far. The code won't compile. I think what my issue is I've tried to populate the RECORD struct from the data2.txt, but I believe my issues lie within the CopyRecords function. I don't think its populating correctly.
