Thread: How do you search a list container....

Well I guess the only way to show you this is to post a huge chunk of my prog.....
This is my Controlle Class...

Code:

#include "CdInfo.h"
#include "Controller.h"
#include "Artist.h"
#include "Menu.h"
#include "SubMenu.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

//*********************MAIN*CONTROL********************
//Takes input from user and processes it
void Controller::CommandControl(int input){
	Menu menu;
	Artist artist;


	if (input == 1)
	{
		menu.Info(); //Displays info about program
	}
	else if (input == 2)
	{
		CdInfoMenu();
	}
	else if (input == 3)
	{
		cout << "Goodbye" << endl; //End Program
	}
	else if (input == 4)
	{
		DisplayArtistList();
	}
	else
	{
		cout << input << ":  is not a valid command" << endl;	
	}
}

//*******************CD*INFO**********************

//Takes input from user (CdInfo) and processes it
void Controller::CdInfoMenu(){
	int input;
	Menu menu;
	Artist artist;
	SubMenu submenu;

		submenu.CdInfo();

		cout << endl << "Enter your choose from the Cd Info Menu now:" << flush ;
		cin >> input;
		cout << endl;
		if (input == 1)
		{
			artist.AddCdName();
			myArtist.push_back(artist);	
		}
		else if (input == 2)
		{
			DisplayArtistList();
		}
		else if (input == 3)
		{
			artist.FindCd();
		}
		else if (input == 4)
		{
			menu.MainMenu();
		}
		else 
		{
			cout << input << ": is not a valid command" << endl;
		}
}

//********************ARTIST**********************

//Adds Artist Name
void Controller::AddArtBandName() { 
	string artName; 

		cout << endl << "Enter the bands name: " << flush; 
		cin >> artName; 

		myArtist.push_back(Artist(artName));	
		
		cout << "\tAdded : " << artName << endl << endl ;		
} 
//Displays Artist List 
void Controller::DisplayArtistList(){
		cout << endl << "List of Artist: " << endl;

	list<Artist>::iterator iter;

		for(iter = myArtist.begin(); iter != myArtist.end(); iter++)
		{
		cout << (*iter).getArtBandName()<< endl;
		(*iter).DisplayCdList();
		}
}
//Not yet working
void Controller::FindCd()
{
	string find;

		cout <<"\tEnter name of Artist you want to find " << endl;
		cout <<"\t               WARNING                " << endl;
		cout <<"\t     THIS SEARCH IS CASE SENSITIVE    " << endl;
		cout <<"Enter name of Artist now : " << flush;
		cin >> find;
		
	list<Artist>::iterator iter ;

		for(iter = myArtist.begin(); iter != myArtist.end(); iter++)
		{
			if ((*iter).getArtBandName() == find)
			{
				cout << endl << "You have just found : " << (*iter).getArtBandName() << endl;
			}
		}			
		
}
Controller::Controller(){
}

This is my Artist class

Code:

#include "Artist.h" 
#include "Controller.h"
#include <iostream> 
#include <string> 
#include "Controller.h"

// Constructor
Artist::Artist(string lv_artName) 
{ 
artName = lv_artName; 
}

//Default Constructor
Artist::Artist(void)
{
}

//Holds artName
void Artist::setArtBandName(string lv_artName) 
{ 
artName = lv_artName; 
} 

string Artist::getArtBandName() 
{ 
return artName; 
}


//Adds Cd Name
void Artist::AddCdName(){
	string cdName; 

		cout << "Enter Cd's Name:" << flush; 
		cin >> cdName; 
	
		myCdInfo.push_back(CdInfo(cdName));	

		cout << "\tAdded : " << cdName << endl << endl;		
	OptionArtistInfo();
}

//Display Cd List
void Artist::DisplayCdList(){
		cout << endl << "Cd List:" << endl;
  
	list<CdInfo>::iterator iter;

		for(iter = myCdInfo.begin(); iter != myCdInfo.end(); iter++)
		{
			cout << (*iter).getCdName();		
		}
}

void Artist::OptionArtistInfo(){
	 int input;

	//A do while loop might be needed 
			cout << "Would you like to add Artist info for the cd : " << endl; 
			cout << "\tType 1 for yes or 2 for no : " << flush;
			cin >> input;
		
			switch (input)
			{
			case 1:
					cout << endl << "Enter the bands name: " << flush; 
					cin >> artName; 
				break;
			case 2:
				cout << "Returning to main menu" << endl;
				break;
			default:
				cout << input << " : Is not a valid command" << endl;
				cout << " 1 and 2 are valid commands " << endl;
			}
}

void Artist::FindCd(string find){
string find;

		cout <<"\tEnter name of CD you want to find " << endl;
		cout <<"\t            WARNING               " << endl;
		cout <<"\t  THIS SEARCH IS CASE SENSITIVE   " << endl;
		cout <<"Enter name of CD now : " << flush;
		cin >> find;
		
		list<CdInfo>::iterator iter ;

		for(iter = myCdInfo.begin(); iter != myCdInfo.end(); iter++)
		{
			if ((*iter).getCdName() == find)
			{
				cout << endl << "You have just found : " << (*iter).getCdName() << endl;
			}
		}
