problem reading all data from a text file

Hi,
I have a code that is supposed to read all data from a text file and output it to the console.  This is the code
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cerr;
using std::endl;
using std::cout;
#include <fstream>
using std::ifstream;
#include <string>
using std::string;
using std::getline;
#include <cstdlib>


//name of disk file for sigthings data
const char IN_FILE_NAME[] ="excursion.txt";
const int MAX_SIGHT = 100;

//sightings struct
struct Sighting
{
      int aDate;
      string aType;
      string aLocation;
      int number;
};
//function to read sightings from IN_FILE_NAME
int readSighting(Sighting sightings[]);
//display headings for Sightings functions
void displayNames(void)      ;                                                                                 

int main(void)
{
      Sighting sightings[MAX_SIGHT];
      int numSight;
      // read sightings
      numSight=readSighting(sightings);
      displayNames()      ;                                                                                 

      //output data to console
      for(int i=0; i<numSight; i++)
      {
            cout <<sightings[i].aDate<<" "
                  <<sightings[i].aType<<" "
                  <<sightings[i].aLocation<<" "
                  <<sightings[i].number<<" "<<endl;
      }
      return 0;
}
      //read sighting data from external file
      //return no of sightings

int readSighting(Sighting sightings[])
{
      ifstream inFile;
      int idx =0;
      inFile.open(IN_FILE_NAME);
      if (inFile.fail())
      {
            cerr<< "File " << IN_FILE_NAME
                  << " could not be opened" << endl;
            exit (1);
      }
      inFile>> sightings[idx].aDate
            >>sightings[idx].aType
            >>sightings[idx].aLocation
            >>sightings[idx].number;
      
      while (!inFile.eof() && !inFile.fail())
      {
            idx++;
            inFile >> sightings[idx].aDate
                  >>sightings[idx].aLocation
                  >>sightings[idx].aType
                  >>sightings[idx].number;
      }
      inFile.close();
      return idx;
}

//display headings for Sightings functions
void displayNames(void)                                                                                      
{                                                                                                                   
      cout<<"   Sightings\t\t\t\t\t\t\t"<<endl;                                      
      cout<<"   Date\t\tBird Type\tLocation  Number of Birds"<<endl;  
}                                          

and header file
                                                #ifndef CONST_H

const int MAX_SIZE = 10 ;      // Number of bird types & the number of locations

const string BIRD_TYPE[MAX_SIZE] = { "pelicans", "wood ducks", "black ducks", "whistling ducks",

It compiles and builds and executes but the output to the screen is not right
         Sightings
   Date         Bird Type       Location  Number of Birds
27 /05/2004,cormorants,Fitzroy River,70000 27
Press any key to continue
can anyone tell me where I am going wrong please? I realise it's something to do with the comma seperated values but how do I get it to not read the comma?
