Fire up google and learn the basic FILESTREAMS. After doing that, the rest will be very simple to understand.

If you have any prob after that. Then you can post your question up.

narrow it down for us by posting only what you tried to do but failed. I don't have the time to read that entire program to figure out what you are talking about.

First define how you want the file to be structured. Given the variable length of several of the member variables (strings) within struct objects I would probably go with writing each variable to file separately rather than trying to use the write() stream member function. Given the possibility of space within the string variables I would probably make it a comma (or some other default variable) delimited file. I would probably write all variable members of a given ogject to the same "line".

Once the file structure has been laid out then you can use the stream methods you are familiar with using cout to write each member variable, delimiters, etc to the file. The only new concept is how to use a file stream instead of an ostream to do it. Rather than writing all the code over and over again any time you want to write to the file, it is a common practice to place the appropriate code up in a member function or overload the << operator so you can call the member function or the << operator with the appropriate stream to use when you want to write an object to file.
