hi I'm doing a banking project using binary files I need to write into a binary file and read and calculate the amounts within it. I open a file by asking the user for their name and searching and a file. I am having trouble reading the integers into a file and calculating.Here is my code so far.I'm also seem to have trouble with a file 'Index'(binary) which stores the users info but when I'm reading the file into a struct only one person is found whilst searching which was the first person entered in the file.Can anyone help me Please?!?!?

Unfortunately, your code is very hard to follow. Indentation is necessary for readability, but you went to the extreme and lost readability. See this for formatting help.

Also, you are using a very dangerous command -- gets() -- click to see why.
And a few questionable commands:
system("pause");
scanf("%c", ...);

It also help to give details, as specified in the post Read Me: Read This Before Posting

yeah, you cant post 300 lines of code and expect people to sift through it. even if it didnt wrap across line breaks.

try parse out your specific questions, and make a simple example of what your main (or first) problem is. then work from there.

There are a lot of pointers in your code. Try to debug them.
