This is our new and revised program...
for the registration:
I thank all of those people who helped me.
for the search function:
so I've manage to, actually my teammate managed to get a search function working
for edit function:
we havent figured it out on what methods are gonna be used to properly edit a certain student..
for instance i want to edit the information of student (insert student ID here),
first we'll prompt the user to enter the student Id as written above,
then after finding the record we would then allow us to manipulate student (x)'s
personal information which is only the first, middle, and last name
can someone guide us?

You'll have to search for a student using there student numbers, then display name, surname etc and ask if they want to edit it, individually though

thats what im on.. i fail to achieve the right codes...
and there's some problem upon registration, it wont allow u to input the first name..

Oh, well I assumed you had everything sorted because you were asking for help on the edit part

Oh, well I assumed you had everything sorted because you were asking for help on the edit part

forgive my grammar if u mistook it as the edit you've thought, anyways this is my edit function which supposed change the name,middle name, and last name of the student he wishes to edit provided the student id he inputted matches to any

So does this search and edit function work?

So does this search and edit function work?

the search works, as for the edit no good luck... after outputting the item it had found which is correct, the edit part of the edit function adds another student and that's where i hit rock bottom, i couldn't figure how will it manipulate the information found after the searching

Use tempI in place of i for your edited records, this will continue to use the existing record and change it accordingly, without creating a totally new one.

Use tempI in place of i for your edited records, this will continue to use the existing record and change it accordingly, without creating a totally new one.

ive tried this but it didt not change.. it still created the last runs output.. i'll try to check wheter i've mistakenly put some incorrect variables

Use tempI in place of i for your edited records, this will continue to use the existing record and change it accordingly, without creating a totally new one.

ive tried this but it didt not change.. it still created the last runs output..
the simulation goes like this..
search complete:
student found
full name: (last name ),(first) (middle name)
student id: 2010 and is on slot 1
============================================
then this will be the output when it will prompt u to change the information:

input new first name: input new middle name:

==================
and so it goes ...it does not allow me to input a first name then it skips to the middle name
and still not changing the record but creates a new one

your on the right track, and I didn't read through all of the code so there may be a few mistakes in what I'm about to write, but here is the general path you want to take:

In your initial menu I would recommend putting a fourth option that says "modify student record." prompt the user for the id number and then search through it using the search function you already have in place. Get the search function to return a pointer to the student record and then your good.

Once you have that...

void modifyStudentRecord(struct Record * ptr) { 

string response ; 

cout << "which element of the student record would you like to modify" << endl ; 

cin >> response ; 

cout << endl ; 

if ( ( strcmp(response, "FirstName") == 0 ) { 
    cout << "Enter the modified first name" << endl ;
    cin >> response ; 
    strcpy(response, ptr->FName) ; // or maybe . instead of ->
                       // you'll figure it out

}
 /* and so on and so fourth until you loop through every element 
    of the structure */

ive created my edit func since im having a hard time with pointers
here is my edit function... i just copied the way it search() works then i lets the user re-enter the new first,middle, and last name altogether but it does not overwrite the space which is hard for me to figure out why

Put cin.ignore() before you input the first name

Put cin.ignore() before you input the first name

ok.. it does prompt me now to input first name.. but still i does not replace the information i want to change
i looks like this
2011
yjasmin
dog
cute
2011
newyjasmin
cute
dog

it does not replace the information i want to change

Okay here's one of my old homework assignments for you to have a look at, it also involves editing:

you code is good sir, but my team leader wants the program to overwrite the specifice information in the studtenst.txt.. he wants it to look fromm left to right
2010-------------->2010
name1------------->name1
lname1------------>lname1
2011-------------->2011
name2------------->name4
lname2------------>lname4
2012-------------->2012
name3------------->name3
lname3------------>lname3
and i cant seem to make it work

I don't quite understand what you mean from left to right, is it suppose to show the new details next to the old ones like: old details------------->new details, or what?

Instead of writing out to your output file every time you do something, try separating your logic into:
1) read the input file into your array
2) loop over user input, adding students to the array, removing students from the array, or editing students already in the array
3) when the user chooses "Quit", write the student array out to the output file

Consider having your search-routine return the array-index of the student you're searching for (and maybe an obvious non-index like -1 if the search fails).

Your edit function shouldn't do a search. Instead when the user chooses the "Edit" option, first perform a search using your search function, and if successful then call your edit function, otherwise print an error message that the specified student wasn't found.

actually during my offline days i was able to make it in 5 hours with full focus... could i post it on the forums? so others would get some basis if they plan on making this kind of program

Yes please do, that would be very helpful

Yes please do, that would be very helpful

in a few days im going to share it but it still need some few polishing(there were some useless functions of my first attempts and some variables) and Im thinking off adding a changelog...

And when you post your code, please also mark the thread as "solved". Great work! :)

here is the final code that i've managed to make please note that i finished this thing in 5 hours and did not add much functions to the program because i also focused on the things that our team needs to achieve which only consist of editing, searching, adding, and printing all the records.
OH another note, make sure to change all the fstream destinations to the locaiton of your desire otherwise it wont work...
i had a little problem sharing this with my teammates because they forgot to change the address of the fstreams.
