solved  item databasing in *.txt

hello. i'm having trouble with finding a specific number in text file.

my problem is:
create a text file that contain numbers in 3 lines. each lines consist of 5 numbers.
create a program that finds the first number in the first column
and load the rest of the 5 numbers in the program.

here's an example:

in text.txt
1001 27 12 17 33
1002 22 12 312 22
1003 873 1222 22 1

the program should read 1001 and then saves "1001, 27, 12, 17, 33" to variables inside the program.

any ideas? your reply is much appreciated.

i didn't really bring my copy of my code. i use internet cafe to access the web.
but my logic on the code was..
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

fstream unfile("text.txt");
if(infile.is_open())
{
infile>>first_number;
if(first_number==The_number)
{
infile>>second_number>>third_number...;
}
}


i'm not sure if what i remember now is the same on my code on my computer. but it doesn't work.
any ideas?
