reading data from a file works until trying to read floats

suquesdeek (1)
I'm reading data from a file into an array of floats to eventually use in the prices::assign function. However, the array never gets populated and that makes it hard to sleep at night. My doctor says I should go to you guys for my health. I've found on other forums that something like this method (not this one, obviously) should work. What am I doing wrong? Help me cplusplus.com, your my only hope!

This is the first couple of lines in the file I'm trying to read

Set a breakpoint at line 82 in your compiler so when you debug it the programs stops there...then look and watch your variables ...I suspect it is trying to read in a '-' or ',' or '.' as a number and causing unknown results...

either a file set up seperated by spaces or some sort of string parsing function...shouldn't be too hard to find on google =P
