it is, I figured out all the code and everything, just cant get the .txt file to load properly

C++ is a declarative programming language. It executes one instruction at a time, in order. main() is the first function that is entered in the program. The first instruction executed is double testArray[10];. You are calling stdDev() and calculating your values before you even open the file and read in any data. It looks like you are reading the values in from the file correctly (you might want to check that you are actually ignoring the first line, as I don't see that code that's doing that).

Use the debugger and step through your program 1 instruction at a time. It will help you see how functions are entered, and the values of your variables at each instruction.
