Thread: In need of file/search help

Ok, in the program I am making (code is below), I am having a problem with my file and searching code. after I enter my information, it is sent to a file. I then do a searh with the information I entered for a specific word, and it brings up all the information I entered in its struct. My problem is this. When the information is searched and printed out, 0048186c is printed out right before the information in my model field. Please help.

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<fstream>
using namespace std;
main()
{	
	int choice, a=0, b=0;
	int c=874;
	char make[30], model[30], color[32], file[20]; 
	int door;
	char suck[90876];
	struct automobile
	{
		char make[20];
		char model[20];
		char color[20];
		int door;
		char suck[32];
	};
	automobile mycar[100];
	ofstream outfile;
	do
		{	
			cout<<"enter the name of the file you want to work with";
			cin.get(file, 20);
			cin.ignore(80, '\n');
			outfile.open(file, ios::app);

			{
