    C++ overlapping output and adding extensions to output files

    Hello. I've written this program which reads a preformatted text file with a list of countries and then sorts them, adds/modifies/deletes records and exports the modified list to another file.
    I've got two problems with it. The first one is a more serious one, while the other one is a minor issue.
    So, the bigger problem is with the output I get. When I display the sorted list, the fields overlap like this (in case you're wondering ─ the list of countries is in Polish): Imageshack - countries.png - Uploaded by lordmorgul
    I have absolutely no idea how to fix this thing.

    The other issue is with the function for exporting the list to another text file. I would like to automatically add the .txt extension to the filename, but when I do
    Code:
    outfile+(".txt)
    I get this error:
    menu.cpp: In function ‘void Menu(std::vector<COUNTRY, std::allocator<COUNTRY> >&)’:
    menu.cpp:131: error: invalid operands of types ‘char [30]’ and ‘const char [5]’ to binary ‘operator+’
    And when I change the outfile to a string, I get the following:
    menu.cpp: In function ‘void Menu(std::vector<COUNTRY, std::allocator<COUNTRY> >&)’:
    menu.cpp:131: error: no matching function for call to ‘std::basic_fstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >:pen(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::_Ios_Openmode)’

    For your problem of overlapping code look for the linefeed character '\r' in your input strings.
    If the file is from a Windows machine the end of line is '\r\n' and on Linux it is just '\n'

    For your question of adding the '.txt' to the file name if you use a string instead of a
    character array then it will work if you use outfile.c_str() in the fileout.open call

    Code:
          std::string outfile;
          cout << "Type in the name of the file to export: ";
          cin >> outfile;
          fileout.open(outfile.c_str(), ios::out|ios::trunc);

    I don't get how c_str() works... Where do I add the ".txt"?
    And as for the linefeed character ─ I don't know how to modify the code ─ when I change the char c to a string I get tons of errors.

    add the ".txt" after cin.

    Code:
         std::string outfile;
          cout << "Type in the name of the file to export: ";
          cin >> outfile;
          outfile += ".txt";
          fileout.open(outfile.c_str(), ios::out|ios::trunc);

    Oh, wow, that was actually quite obvious, I kept trying to enter it after c_str() ;-) Thank you very much.
    But I still have no luck with fixing the overlapping output. I forgot to mention, that after exporting the data to another file ─ it looks the way it should, it's only the display in the program that's wrong.

    In main after the line:
    Code:
     
        getline( filein, Country[i].Lang, filein.widen('\n'));
    add the following code
    Code:
    	std::string::size_type idx;
            // Remove the cursor return char if found.
    	if((idx=Country[i].Lang.find.wi("\r")) != std::string::npos)
                Country[i].Lang.erase(idx,1);
    This should detect the linefeed character if present and remove it.

    I get this error after inserting your code:
    Code:
    main.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
    main.cpp:57: error: ‘Country.std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::operator[] [with _Tp = COUNTRY, _Alloc = std::allocator<COUNTRY>](((unsigned int)i))->COUNTRY::Lang.std::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::find [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits<char>, _Alloc = std::allocator<char>]’ does not have class type

    Code:
    if((idx=Country[i].Lang.find.wi("\r")) != std::string::npos)
                Country[i].Lang.erase(idx,1);
    Sorry had a typo, remvoe the wi and it should work

    Code:
    if((idx=Country[i].Lang.find("\r")) != std::string::npos)
                Country[i].Lang.erase(idx,1);

    Oh, I noticed one more thing... When I sort the list by names it displays AFGANISTAN (which is the first record) on the opposite end of the list (eg. when I sort it descending, it gets displayed first).
