Looking at what you had at the link you provided ...
if the data in your file is all pre-validated ...

i.e. ...

1) if the C strings are all less than 30 char's long (just one word, no spaces in 'word')

2) id#'s all fit into an unsigned short

3) if the data in the file is perfectly regular with idNuum on 1st line, name on next line, a valid float on 3rd line, (or all data has just whitespace between each data field)

then you easily could hande like this:

struct Customer 
{
    unsigned short int IDnum;
    char name[30];
    float salesCustomer; 
} ;

// ...

int fillAryFromFile( const char* fname, char Customer ary[], int max_size )
{
    int size = 0;
    ifstream fin( fname );
    if( fin )
    {
        while
        (
            size < max_size &&
            fin >> ary[size].IDnum &&
            fin >> ary[size].name &&
            fin >> ary[size].salesCustomer
        }
        {
            ++size;
            if( size == max_ size )
            {
                cout << "You have reached max size.\n";
            }
        }
        fin.close();
        return size;
    }
    // else ... if reach here ...
    cout << "There was a problem opening file.\n";
    return -1; // flag value for file open error
}

I am not supposed to use pointers :( in class

I am dooing like this but read only one line with error:

int setRecord(char masterFile[15], master masterRecord[]){
    int i=0;
    char id[10], name[17], sale[8];
    ifstream read;

    read.open(masterFile);
    if(!read)
        cout<<"Open Fail";
    else{

        while(read.good()){ 
            read.get(id, '\t');
            cout<<atoi(id)<<endl;
            read.get(name, '\t');
            cout<<name<<endl;
            read.get(sale,'\n');

            cout<<atof(sale)<<endl;

            }

    }   

    read.close();
    return i;

Just change the top line in the example ... to:

int fillAryFromFile( const char fname[], char Customer ary[], int max_size )
