Bringing in a file as an array using functions??

quixdi (8)
Homework Question:
I'm trying to get a file to open up using a function, going into an array. Then having the possibility of searching for information within the array.

using visual studios 2015

The code builds fine according to visual studios. The .csv file is in with the rest of the program file like I was instructed to place it. The only thing I am getting is the file isn't opening. I have double checked the spelling of the file name and it's correct.

Replace line 79 with perror("File error: "); and see what it prints.
Include <cstdio> as well.
