Hi,

pls give some ideas about this:
Thanks a lot.......

1)A function is reading data from text file , that same function is returning 2 values after reading from the file ( so I made inputfile , in the argument list as call by reference (right or wrong)
if wrong what should be done ......

funcn defination is :

int  readFromFIle(account database[], ifstream &inputFile)
{ :
   :
    :
 return count ;
return tempPIN;
}

2) when I am calling the above function , in the Main ,how I am suppose to store this 2 variables ??

int Main()
{
:
:
 ??? (variable 1) = readFromFIle( database, inputFile)
 ???(variable2 ) =  readFromFIle( database, inputFile)
return 0;
}

3)I have to use those 2 variables in number of other functions

case 1: NewAccountCreation(database, totalRecord , tempPIN);
case2 : openExistingAccount(database, totalRecord, tempPIN);

Are all the methods right?????because I feel my 1st and 2nd part is wrong........

help!!!!!!!!!

A function can't return two different variables at the same time. You could pass them by reference and have the function fill them perhaps.

void  readFromFIle(account database[], ifstream &inputFile, int& count, int& tempPIN)
{ :
   :
    :
count = 6;
tempPIN=1234;
}



int main()
{
   // other stuff declared
   int pin;
   int count;
   readFromFile(database, inputFile, count, pin);

   return 0;
}

I am just grateful to u.......I was able to solve it....
Thanks a lot.....

Now there is another silly question:

1)a function is defined to cancel an account...... but as per my code the record doesnt gets cancelled.....Why??Can u pls enligten me??

void cancelExAccount(Account [], int count ) // count is the total no. of exisiting records in an array

{
 variable declaration ........

for(int i=0; i < DATABASESIZE; i++)
{	
		
  if( database[i].name==validName )
  {
     tempName = database[i].Name;
     tempPIN  = database[i].PIN;
        :
        :
     cout<<tempName<<endl;
        :
       :
        :
}

:
:
if(reply=="Y" || reply=="y")
{
						
             database[count-1].Name ;
             database[count-1].PIN;
             database[count-1].bal;
              :
              :

cout << "Account cancelled"<<endl;
cout << "\n\n";
}
