:o When I start the program it just spits out a continuous line of numbers; Can anyone give me any suggestions, OR better yet, just tell me how so I can start my Thanksgiving break early? :o

I'm not real sure where to indent.. How does this look?

I << NumScores?????

And its better if u let us know how the data in the file are arranged.

it's also better to use a descriptive topic and not demand instant attention as that's extremely rude.
