Store text based columns data into array C++

I’m trying to store data from a text file into an array in order to use it afterwards. The problem is when there is a header for each data, how can skip a line in the middle of the text or to take it separately?

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>



main() {
    double tab[100][6] = {0};
    int  i =0, j;
   std::string name = "test.txt";
//   std::cout << "Enter filename: ";
//   std::cin >> name;

   std::fstream file;
   std::string word;
   file.open(name.c_str());
   std::getline(file,word); // skip the first line
   while(file >> word) { //take word and print
      std::cout << word << std::endl;
      for(int j=0; j<=5; j++){
      tab[i][j] = stoi(word);
      }
      i++;
   }
   file.close();
   // displaying
   for(int j = 0; j<= 40;j++){
    std::cout << tab[i][0] << "\t" <<  tab[i][1] << "\t" << tab[i][2] << "\t" << tab[i][3] << "\t" << tab[i][4] << "\t" << tab[i][5];
   }
}

test.txt file

Maybe you have a look in the complete line first, if there is a letter (a-zA-Z)?!

#include <regex>

...
std::regex e("a-zA-Z");

while(file >> word) { //take word and print
  
  if ( std::regex_match ( word, e))
    continue;

You can try marking each header in the text file as comments by putting a # at the beginning of each header.

Now read the text file like this:

#include<sstream>
...

...
std::ifstream file {"test.txt"};
std::string line;
std::istringstream iss;
double tab[100][6];
int i=0, j;
...

while (getline(file, line))
{
  if (!(line[0]=='#'))
  {
    iss.str(line);

    for (j=0; j<6; ++j)
      iss >> tab[i][j];
    
    iss.clear();

    ++i;
  }
}

file.close();
