Thread: Using files to store aint working. HELPPpp!!!!

I got the program to work without files but implementing files just isn't working out: could anyone help me use files with the void Add, etc format
CODE BELOW:

Code:

                                    /*GLOBAL COMPUTER SCHOOl*/
                                      /*STUDENT DATABASE*/

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int main()
{
printf("\t\t\t************************\n");
printf("\t\t\t GLOBAL COMPUTER SCHOOL");
printf("\n\t\t\t************************\n");

struct GCS             //Declaring Global Database

{
            
       char sfname [20];
       char slname [20];
       char DOB[20];
       char mother [20];
       char father [20];
        
};
         struct GCS student[50];    //Declaring a student database under Global Database
         int scount;         //Count number of students in database
         char test = '\0';       //Tests value to cease inputs
         
         printf("\n*******************************************************************************\n"); /* Draw the top of the box */
        
                      
         for(scount = 0; scount < 50; scount++)
         {
int option;
printf("1.\tAdd Student\n2.\tDelete Student\n3.\tList Student\n4.\tEdit Students\n5.\tExit\n\n");
printf("\nWhich do you want to do?");
scanf("%d" , &option);
                 
switch (option)
                 {
                        case 4:
                             printf("Which Student?\n");
                             scanf("%d", &option);
                             
                        case 5:
                             {
                             printf("\nTHANK YOU for using the GCS...\n");                              
                             break;
                 }
                        case  1:
                              {
printf("\nAre you sure you wish to add students (y or n)?", scount? "nother ": "");
scanf(" %c", &test);
if(tolower(test) == 'n')
break;
                                                           
printf("\nEnter Student's First Name: ");
scanf("%s", student[scount].sfname);      //Reads the student's first name
         
printf("\nEnter %s's Last Name: ", student[scount].sfname);
scanf("%s", student[scount].slname);      //Read the student's last name
           
printf("\nEnter %s %s DOD (mm-dd-yyyy): ", student[scount].sfname,student[scount].slname);
scanf("%s", student[scount].DOB);       //REads the student's DOB
         
printf("\nEnter %s %s Mother's Name: ",student[scount].sfname,student[scount].slname);   
scanf("%s", student[scount].mother);      //REad PArent First Name
          
printf("\nEnter %s %s Father's Name: ",student[scount].sfname,student[scount].slname);
scanf("%s", student[scount].father);      //REad Parent Last Name
                             }
                              
                          case 3:
{ printf("Students in GCS Database include: \nNAME:\t %s %s \nDOB(mm/dd/yyyy): %s \nParents:\t %s & %s\n", student[scount].sfname,student[scount].slname,student[scount].DOB,student[scount].mother,student[scount].father);    
                             
for(int i = 0 ; i<scount ; i++ )
                             {

printf("\n\n Student: \t %s %s \n DOB (mm/dd/yyyy): %d \n Parents' Name: %s  & %s\n", student[i].sfname, student[i].slname, student[i].DOB, student[i].mother, student[i].father);
                             printf\n"); /* Draw the bottom of the box */
                             }
                             }

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
 }          }

                  }

implementing files just isn't working out:

after you fix your indentation be also more specific in describing the problem.

"Does not work" is not telling much. Describe what it should do , what it does and how itis different.

Are you sure all this long code is needed to represent a problem? could you make a smaller compilable example that is focused just on the problem on hands?
