C++ problem.. plz help guys

hi guys:

im new in C++ and im stuck here with no clue how to fix it.

this is the code i wrote, which is to open a file, and read into it, it also count how many 'F' or 'M' occur. BUT i want to put gender 'M' pr 'F' in the varable i named "gender" and also i want to put the next 2 numbers in "age" and last number in "lead".

this is becuase later on i have to put diffrent people in diffrent category based on their age, lead and gender.

so this is the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>

void main()
{
FILE *read;
char ch;
int countm , countf;
int age, lead;
char gender;


countm = 0;
countf = 0;

read= fopen("c:\\c\\custsurvey1.txt", "r");

if(read==NULL)
{
printf("Error reading file");
}

else
{
fscanf(read," %c %d %d", &gender, &age, &lead);
for(ch=char getc(read); ch !=EOF; ch=char getc (read))
{
printf("%c", ch);

if(ch == 'F')
{

countf++;
}

else
{
if(ch == 'M')

countm++;
}

}

if(fclose(read) ==EOF)
puts("cannot close file");

}

printf("\nThe Female count is %d", countf);
printf("\nTHe male count is %d", countm);

getch();
}

The problem is when this line "fscanf(read," %c %d %d", &gender, &age, &lead);" is included the first line of characters don;t appear, it starts from the second line! i don;t seem to be able to fix that. can anyone help me plzzz. i've attached the file. plz help thanx
