Extra Space in first line of input from a file C++

Question

I'm done with my assignment for a beginner C++ course, and the only annoying thing is I cannot get rid of the extra space that appears on the screen when I input data from a file and print to screen while outputting to another file.

I have looked into the input.ignore() and putback() functions, but I cannot get them to work while messing around.

I know this is cause the extra \n character is at the end of the first line, or cause I skipped the comma.

Any tips would be great, in terms of formatting a .ignore() or .putback(), as the professor rushed through explaining it at the end of class as we were leaving without examples.

It outputs to the screen as such:

John  13333 .69  // one extra space after John for every number and item

Susie 12222 .75...

    if (!input)
    {
        cout << "The input file failed to open! Try again." << endl; //checks that the file opened correctly
        return -1;
