Read text file to end in c++ [closed]












-6















I have this function that is supposed to read to the end of a text file retrieve the data and store the data in some variables.



First Name-Last Name-Nationality-Guest(s)-Cost-Room #



dd dd dd 2 350 102
RIC Thing USA 2 350 104



I then use another function to try and modify the data. You can see where the variable has the data but when I'm trying to compare the data is say it is not found.



It found 104



Please enter the room number you would like to make the changes to : 104



First Name-Last Name-Nationality-Guest(s)-Room #



These two were printed so I could see what was retrieved
102
104

But not finding 102.

    You have a loop that reads through the whole file (more or less). Only the last item in the file will be preserved in memory, the rest will have been overwritten by subsequent reads. I'd start investigating the bug here.

  • In the loop that is supposed to read all records from the file you keep overwriting the same variables again and again. Only the last record will remain in them, the others are gone. You need some way to keep all records if you want to find some data in them later.

    You have a loop that reads through the whole file (more or less). Only the last item in the file will be preserved in memory, the rest will have been overwritten by subsequent reads. I'd start investigating the bug here.

  • In the loop that is supposed to read all records from the file you keep overwriting the same variables again and again. Only the last record will remain in them, the others are gone. You need some way to keep all records if you want to find some data in them later.
