Hey Nico Basically thats exactly what i was doing wrong :) i didnt fill the name array upon initialization. so when it was output to the fill first time the txt file looked like this. gav 300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 then when they were read back in the next time the function was called it was putting 0 into the names array as the >> command doesnt take in white space. then it passed in that number which i assume is an end of file flag and put it into the array also. by just initilizing the name array with details it avoids this problem as the details are sent to the file on the very first run. gav 300 ... 0 ... 0 ... 0 etc thanks again fro help
