Thread: need some help

It was suggested before that you should write a delimiter (space) in the file. Otherwise all the numbers will be right after each other.
out << num1 << " " << num2 << " " << ...

i will make that adjustment now. any suggestions on how to get my search at the bottom to only print out the one of the inputs of the terminal information?

latest code still no data prints out get press any key to continue after i enter the number 1 to see the first input. I am so fraustrated with this program. Doing a programming class with no instructor near by is terrible.

I am having these problems with the excercises. man i cant wait for the test. lol I am getting it very slowly so maybe i will be okay.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include<cassert>
using namespace std;

class TermInfo
{
public:
	string bldg;
	char accessCode;
	int transRate;
	string termType;
	int serviceDay;
	int serviceMonth;
	int serviceYear;
	int TermNumber;
};
void main()
{
	/* int TotalTerm; */

	int const TotalTerm = 2;
	
    
	cout << "Enter two sets of data for your terminal entrys today" << "\n";
	/* cin >> TotalTerm;  */
	ofstream outFile("afile.txt");
	assert(outFile.is_open());
    TermInfo info[TotalTerm];
	
	for (int i=0; i < TotalTerm; i++)
	{
		cout << "Enter Terminal Number (INT):  "  << "\n";
		cin >> info[i].TermNumber;
		cout << "Enter Transmission rate (INT):  " << "\n";
		cin >> info[i].transRate;
		cout << "Enter terminal type (String):  " << "\n";
		cin >> info[i].termType;
		cout << "Enter building terminal is located (String):  " << "\n";
		cin >> info[i].bldg;
		cout << "Enter access code to terminal (Char):  " << "\n";
		cin >> info[i].accessCode;
		cout << "Enter day of last servicing date (dd) (INT):  " << "\n";
		cin >> info[i].serviceDay;
		cout << "Enter month of last servicing date (mm)(INT):  " << "\n";
		cin >> info[i].serviceMonth;
		cout << "Enter year of the last servicing date (YYYY) (INT):  " << "\n";
		cin >> info[i].serviceYear;
		outFile << info[i].TermNumber << info[i].transRate << info[i].termType << info[i].bldg << info[i].accessCode << info[i].serviceDay << info[i].serviceMonth << info[i].serviceYear;
	}
	
    
	outFile.close();

	/* This section gets value from the closed file  */

	ifstream inFile("afile.txt");
	
	
	if(!inFile)
	{
		cerr << "File could not be opened!" << "\n";
		exit (1);
	}
    
	cout << "Enter Terminal number to search for:  " << "\n";
	int search;
	cin >> search;


        TermInfo currentInfo;

	while(inFile >> currentInfo.TermNumber >> currentInfo.transRate 
	       >> currentInfo.termType >> currentInfo.bldg >> currentInfo.accessCode 
               >> currentInfo.serviceDay >> currentInfo.serviceMonth 
               >> currentInfo.serviceYear)
{
        if(search == currentInfo.TermNumber)
        {
            cout << currentInfo.TermNumber <<  "   " << currentInfo.bldg << "     "  << currentInfo.accessCode << "\n"; 
			cout << currentInfo.transRate << "     " << currentInfo.termType << "     " << currentInfo.serviceDay << "\n";
			cout << currentInfo.serviceMonth << "    " << currentInfo.serviceYear << "\n";
	}	
	else 
		cout << "please re run the program"  ;
          
        }
}

Thanks for all your help. I got it to work now. It seems the small things tend to cause more trouble than the ones you think are harder.

I appreciate the help guys
