Help needed with C++

I have a text file named "read.txt" which has:

Everytime the code sees the string "ID", we need to make a new list with the lines after it until the code sees another string "ID". So, the output needs to look like this:

Here is my code so far:

LinkedList list1, list2, list3;   //declare lists of type linked list
   string name, name2, name3;               //name variable for list 1 and list 2
   int ID;                       //initialize RUID
   int counter = 0;
   while (file_read.is_open()) {
       file_read >> ID >> name;
       if (file_read.fail()) {
           counter++;
           if (counter = 1) {
               file_read >> ID >> name;
               list1.Add(name, ID);
           }
           if (counter = 2) {
               file_read >> ID >> name2;
               list2.Add(name2, ID);
           }

if (counter = 3) {
               file_read >> ID >> name3;
               list3.Add(name3, ID);
           }
       }
   }
   file_read.close();

I just need help with the loop posted above. I need help with just splitting up the text file whenever a string "ID" is read and putting the lines after it into list1,list2,list3. All of those work correctly and they are functions in my code. The "Add" is also a function that works. I just need help with the loop. Thank you.

Explanation / Answer

Ans;

instead of if (file_read.fail())? After all, you only want to add to the list if the read was successful.
