Putting text file into an array of structures

I am at a loss with an assignment. I am supposed to read from a text file, with an input of something like this: alphaproleone,stroke,42 1 and Store it into an array of structures and then output it with each word/number starting on a new line. I was hoping anyone could help me out with where to go next. My current code prints out only the first part, and the "a" in alphaproleone is the actual number "21".
