This function is supposed to take in a filename and an array of structs (arrays are automatically passed by reference, right?) then it should read from the file and save each line into the correct struct in the array. Can someone please help me get it working??

void OpenAndReadFile(string Filename, house FileHouses[MAXHOUSES])
{

//create input filestream and open the file
ifstream fin(Filename.c_str() );
fin.open(Filename.c_str());


//if the file didn't open, display an error and terminate the program.
if (!fin.is_open())
{
cout << "There was an error opening the file" << endl;
system("pause");
exit(1);
}

//this for loop reads each line in the file and saves everything into the array for houses.


for (int Count = 0;Count < MAXHOUSES;Count++)
{
getline(fin,FileHouses[Count].Address);
getline(fin,FileHouses[Count].Suburb);
fin >> FileHouses[Count].Price;
}



//close the file
fin.close();


}

here's an example on structs

http://www.cs.utsa.e.../C_structs.html

look at print_p()

as in the example above try:
void OpenAndReadFile(string Filename, house *FileHouses[MAXHOUSES])
getline(fin,(*FileHouses[Count]).Address);
getline(fin,(*FileHouses[Count]).Suburb);
fin >> (*FileHouses[Count]).Price;
