files

is there a way to jump to a seperate file with code?

for example

Code:

---


#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int x;

cout<<"choose from menu\n";
cout<<"1, search phone book\n";
cout<<"2, edit phone book\n";
cout<<"\n";
cout<<"input : ";

cin>> x;

switch ( x )

{

case 1:
          cout<<"goto different file";
          cin.get();
          break;

case 2:
          cout<<"goto different file";
          cin.get();
          break;

default:
          cout<<"incorrect input";
          cin.get();
          break;
}


}

Yes. Just open the file and process it as required - I'd create two functions (one for choice 1 one for choice 2) that process each file as necessary.

Code:

---

switch ( x )
{
case 1:
          SearchPhoneBook();
          break;

case 2:
          EditPhoneBook();
          break;

default:
          cout<<"incorrect input";
          cin.get();
          break;
}

Each file stream can be associated with only one file at a time. However, you can have multiple file streams in any given project and you can change files associated with a given stream as long as you close the first file before associating the stream with the second file.
