I'm completely new to C++, so please give me a change to learn!
Assuming I have a text file RoomDB.txt which stores data in the following format :
005:Room 1:Level 1:3-Jul-14:0900:3:Mathematics 101:Julia Lee
006:Room 2:Level 2:2-Jun-14:0800:2:English 101:Jared Loo
007:Room 3:Level 3:15-Apr-14:1800:3:Chinese 101:David Tay
008:Room 4:Level 4:15-Apr-14:1200:3:Science 101:Michelle Choo
How would I selectively display a particular line (or more) of data based on the fourth field (the date), such that it would look like this - (If i want to display only the lines in which the date is 15-Apr-14)
Booking ID Room No. Level No. Time Duration Subject Lecturer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
007 Room 3 Level 3 1800 3 Chinese 101 David Tay
008 Room 4 Level 4 1200 3 Science 101 Michelle Choo
PS : Notice that the date is excluded from the desired output as it will be used as a criteria for choosing what data is to be displayed. My current code is as follows :
int main()
{
cout << "\nBooking ID Room No. Level No. Time Duration Subject Lecturer" << endl;
cout << "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------" << endl;
string array[50]; // creates array to hold names
short loop=0; //short for loop for input
string line; //this will contain the data read from the file
ifstream myfile ("RoomDB.txt"); //opening the file.
if (myfile.is_open()) //if the file is open
{
while (! myfile.eof() ) //while the end of file is NOT reached
{
getline (myfile,line); //get one line from the file
array[loop] = line;
cout << "At element " << loop << ", value is :" << array[loop] << endl;
loop++;
}
myfile.close(); //closing the file
}
else cout << "Unable to open file"; //if the file is not open output
}
