receipt help with loops and strings

[Pg0715]

im trying to read from the file that has five items included in it, and if it has less than 5 items it will display an error as well show the tax and see if t its taxable or e to exempt and im suppose to display a receipt using strings and space the receipt using padleft and padRight but im stuck any help would be appreciated this is what I have so far

  #include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<iomanip>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

string padLeft(string,char,int);
string padRight(string,char,int);
string fromMoneyToStr(double);
int main()
{
  int tax=0;
  string item1,item2,item3,item4,item5;
  double price1,price2,price3,price4,price5;
  char a,b,c,d,e;
  string f,g,h,i,j;

  ifstream inFile;
  inFile.open("input.dat");

  if(inFile.fail())
    {
      cout<<"The file failed to open."<<endl;
      return -1;
    }
  inFile>> tax >> item1 >> price1 >> a >> item2 >> price2 >> b >> item3 >>\
 price3 >> c >> item4 >> price4 >> d >> item5 >> price5 >> e;

  inFile.close();

  f=fromMoneyToStr(price1);
  g=fromMoneyToStr(price2);
  h=fromMoneyToStr(price3);
  i=fromMoneyToStr(price4);
  j=fromMoneyToStr(price5);

  cout<< f << " " << g << " " << h << " " << i << " " <<j <<endl;

  return 0;
}

first problem is when I try calling the items from the file it displays this 4.87049e-270 1.16458e-307 4.86247e-270 2.12203e-314 2.18846e-314 and that now right as well I don't understand how to get the padleft and padright to displa the receipt as well how to add the functions to get the sales tax and grand total
