Fstream derived, Array-driven search.
Hey guys, I have recently taken a class in C++ as part of my program for a degree in Computer Science. I was given the task of supplying an array with data through file and file manipulation by my oh-so-lovely lecturer.
My code looks like this:
Code:
//including pre-processor directives
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
//make use of the C++ standard libraries
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//declaring and initializing variables
ifstream bobCat;
string code = "";
string firstName[25] = {""};
string lastName[25] = {""};
string catBob[25] = {""};
string ans = "";
//openning text file and attenuating it to object
bobCat.open ("Advanced27.txt", ios::in);
//affixing the data from the file to the three array indices
for (int count = 0; count <= 24; count++){
getline(bobCat, catBob[count], '#');
bobCat >> firstName[count];
bobCat >> lastName[count];
}
// if (bobCat.is_open()){
cout << "Welcome to Bobcat.exe. \n\n";
while (code != "Z3"){
cout << "If you would like to begin an employer search "
<< "please enter: \n\n|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-"
<< "|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|\n"
<< "| - F1 -> for Full-time employees who sell new cars.| "
<< "\n| - F2 -> for Full-time employees who sell old cars.|"
<< "\n| - P1 -> for Part-Time employees who sell new cars.|"
<< "\n| - P2 -> for Part-Time employees who sell old cars.|"
<< "\n| - or Z3 -> to end Bobcat.exe |\n"
<< "|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|\n";
cin >> code;
while (code != "F1" && code != "F2" && code != "P1" && code != "P2" && code != "Z3"){
//if (code != "F1" && code != "F2" && code != "P1" && code != "P2" && code != "Z3"){
cout << "ERROR 101: Unsuitable Code Transaction...\n "
<< "Please try again.\n\n";
cout << "If you would like to begin an employer search "
<< "please enter: \n\n|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-"
<< "|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|\n"
<< "| - F1 -> for Full-time employees who sell new cars.| "
<< "\n| - F2 -> for Full-time employees who sell old cars.|"
<< "\n| - P1 -> for Part-Time employees who sell new cars.|"
<< "\n| - P2 -> for Part-Time employees who sell old cars.|"
<< "\n| - or Z3 -> to end Bobcat.exe |\n"
<< "|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|\n";
cin >> code;
//}
//}
while (code == "Z3"){
cout << "Are you sure you want to quit BobCat.exe?\n"
<< "Please type yes to continue or no. \n\n";
cin >> ans;
if (ans == "yes"){
cout << "Thank you for using BobCat.exe. Enjoy your day!";
code = "Z3";
break;
}
else if (ans == "no"){
cout << "If you would like to begin an employer search "
<< "please enter: \n\n|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-"
<< "|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|\n"
<< "| - F1 -> for Full-time employees who sell new cars.| "
<< "\n| - F2 -> for Full-time employees who sell old cars.|"
<< "\n| - P1 -> for Part-Time employees who sell new cars.|"
<< "\n| - P2 -> for Part-Time employees who sell old cars.|"
<< "\n| - or Z3 -> to end Bobcat.exe |\n"
<< "|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|\n";
cin >> code;
}
}
cout << "Employees of the " << code << " type include:\n";
for (int countUp = 0; countUp <= 13; countUp++){
if (catBob[countUp] == code){
cout << firstName[countUp] << " " << lastName[countUp] << "\n";
}
}
}
}
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
The program is supposed to search the array for information assigned to it by a loop and some file manipulation.
I expect to have the list of corresponding list to be printed when the user inputs a particular code but alas this does not occur.
The file, that my lecturer gave me to use for this particular project, has its information written like this:
F1#John James
P2#Mary Dapper
F2#Mary Jones
P1#Jeff Bride
F2#Joel Adkari
P2#Kristy Jacob
F1#June Joana
F1#Jacob Sueba
P2#Tammy Janes
F1#Charles Smith
P1#Bridget Hines
P2#Jerry Kramer
P1#John Adams
P2#William Smith
P1#Jenny Adair
F1#Connie Gray
F1#Chris Thomas
F1#Carl Angles
P2#Jenny Jonah
F1#Carol Verace
P1#Ann Jerame
P2#Kate Krumpet
F2#Janice Paulo
P1#Suman Cary
P1#Ann Patel
Unfortunately i only get as far as Joel James.
How can i correct my code? Thank you.
