Reading from a file and assigning values to variables

[ffredgarr]

so I have this code here and I am trying to read info from a file that was created for me to use. I for some reason cannot access the information from the file, but when I compile and run my program I get the same address over and over for each loop... Here is what I have -

// Global (const char FILE_NAME[20] = "ExamScores.txt";) at the top
   
int ReadExams(char studentNames[][21], int studentNumbers[], int grades[][EXAM_COUNT])
{
  int count = 1;

  ifstream studentFile;
   
  studentFile.open(FILE_NAME);

  while(!studentFile.eof())
  {
	 for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
     {
		studentFile >> studentNumbers[count], ' ';  
		studentFile >> studentNames[count][21], ':';

		for(int i = 0; i < EXAM_COUNT; i++)
		{
			studentFile >> grades[count][EXAM_COUNT], ' ';
		}
		count++;

		cout << studentNumbers[count] << studentNames[count][21] << grades[count][EXAM_COUNT] << endl;
	 }
  
      studentFile.close();
      cout << endl;    

	  return count;
   }

any help will be appreciated!
