It still seems that the [x+1] would be accessing an array location that does not exist. But if it works, it doesn't matter, I guess, since it wouldn't cause wrong output.

Well, instead of looking at the next element, perhaps you should stuff the first element into the Unique array, and then compare with the latest element in the Unique array to see if you need to add it or not.

Code:

for (int q = 0; q < uniquecount; ++q)
          {
            for (int w = 0; w < BOOK_MAX; ++w)
              {
                if (Unique[q] == Books[w].Author)
                  {
                    cout << Books[w].Title << " in section " << Books[w].Category;

                    for (int e = 0; e < BOOK_MAX; ++e)
                      {
                        if (Book[w].ID == Loans[e].Book)
                          {
                            cout << " - on Loan." << endl;
                          }
                        else
                          {
                            cout << " - in Stock." << endl;
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
          }

198: parse error before `['
213: break statement not within loop or switch
214: confused by earlier errors, bailing out

Line 198 is the if statement.
I'm confused about break statement, because the switch statement it's in is within braces.
The switch starts and ends as follows:

Code:

switch (select)
     {
     case 1:
       {

Code:

        break;
       }
     case 2:

I didn't have any errors before writing the code that starts at the point which I've pasted.

You probably have an error elsewhere - what you have posted seems OK to me.
