Thread: Okay its running with a serious glitch

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iomanip>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
inline void eatline() { while (cin.get() != '\n') continue; }
struct dog
{
char name[20];    //name
double weight;    //weight
char b[20];         //breed
};

const char * file = "dogs.dat";
int main ()
{
    dog d1;
    cout << fixed << right;


//show initial contents
    ifstream fin;
    fin.open(file, ios::in |ios::binary);
//NOTE: Some Systems don't allow ios::binary
    if (fin.is_open())
    {
    cout << "Here are the current contents of the " << file << " file:\n";
    while (fin.read((char *) &d1, sizeof d1))
          {
          cout << setw(20) << d1.name << ": "
               << setprecision(0) << setw(12) << d1.weight
               << setprecision(2) << setw(6) << d1.b << "\n";
          }
}
fin.close();

//add new data
ofstream fout(file, ios::out | ios::app | ios::binary);
//Note: Some systems don't allow ios::binary
if (!fout.is_open())
{
    cerr << "Can't open " << file << " file for output:\n";
    exit(1);
}

cout << "Enter dogs name (enter blank line to quit): \n";
cin.get(d1.name, 20);
while (d1.name[0] != '\0')
{
      eatline();
      cout << "Enter dogs weight: ";
      cin >> d1.weight;
      cout << "Enter breed: ";
      cin >> d1.b;
      eatline();
      fout.write((char *) &d1, sizeof d1);
      cout << "Enter dogs name (Blank line to quit):\n";
      cin.get(d1.name, 20);
}
fout.close();

//show revised
       fin.clear();
       fin.open("dogs.dat", ios::in | ios::binary);
       if (fin.is_open())
       {
       cout << "Here is the new contents of the " << file << "file:\n";
       while (fin.read((char *) &d1, sizeof d1))
             {
             cout << setw(20) << d1.name << ": "
                  << setprecision(0) << setw(12) << d1.weight
                  << setprecision(2) << setw(6) << d1.b << "\n";
                  }
             }
             fin.close();
             cout << "Done.\n";
            return 0;
}

Please compile and run a few times to see whats wrong

> cout << fixed << right;

not sure what thats supposed to be, but those variables havent been defined anywhere.

Working fine now..... I was using a bad variable d1, i needed dl.
