Having trouble with a card game assignment

bedudkowski (11)
Hey guys, I have an assignment due soon, and I cant figure out how to read my text files into structs and then have them displayed onto the screen. The code compiles but when I try to display the cards or players it prints out a bunch of crazy squares with numbers in them. I have no clue on what to do.

Basically there are two text files; one has all of the cards in the deck (two heart, three heart, four heart...), the other text file has 4 player name(first name last name...). I have to read those two files into the arrays using pointers and display them to the screen.
