Hi. I have an array of structs problem. I am having issues with my getname getprice functions. I need to be able to enter a code and return the name and price for that item. The values I return are for all items. It looks like it should be simple but none of the code I have tried has worked. Any help is appreciated thankyou. P.S I did read "read this before posting" it' my first time I apologize if it's somethings wrong.
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>

using namespace std;

	struct Item {
	string code;
	string name;
	double price;
	};
	int loadData (Item items[], int &count);
	const int MAX_ITEMS = 100;
	Item items[MAX_ITEMS];
	string getName(string code);
	double getPrice (string code);
	void printItems (Item items);
	int count = 0;

int main()
{	
	string code;
	ifstream inputFile;
	string infile;
	string input;
	string key;
	cout << "Welcome to Angela's grocery store" <<endl;
	cout << loadData(items, count );
	
	cout << count << "Items loaded successfully." <<endl;
	//while (inputFile){
	cout << "Please enter code: ";
    cin >> key;
	getline(cin, key);
	
	//getName (code);
	getPrice (code);
	
	//cout << "My Grocery List:" <<endl;
	//for (int n = 0; n < count; n++){
	//  printItems (items[n]);
	
  return 0;
}

	int loadData (Item items[], int &count)
	{
	string input;
	
    
    ifstream inputFile;
    //cout << "Please enter the name of the backup file." <<endl;
	//cin >> input;
	//inputFile.open(input.c_str());
	inputFile.open("C:\\Users\\angela\\Desktop\\cs 161\\prices.txt");
	//inputFile.open(input.c_str());
   if (!inputFile.is_open()) {
        
        return -1 ;
	}
	
	while (getline(inputFile, input)) {
	   
	     items[count].code = (input.substr(0,8).c_str());
	     items[count].name = (input.substr(10,26).c_str());
               items[count].price = atof(input.substr(36,8).c_str());
        count++;
   }
	return 0 ;
}
	void printItems (Item items) //to check that my my text file loaded properly into my array
{	
		cout << items.code << "            " 
		     << items.name << "    "
		     << items.price <<endl;
}
	string getName(string code)
{ 
	string name;   
	string key ;
   
	for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        if (items[i].code.find(key) == 0 ) {
		    cout << "************" <<endl;
			cout << setw(3) << right << items[i].name << endl;
			}      
		 }
		return 0;
}

	double getPrice (string code){

	string name;   
	string input;
	string key;
   
	for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
       if (items[i].code.find(key)== 0 ) {
			cout << items[i].price <<endl;
		   }
		 }
	return 0;
	}

Geez I feel dumb.. I figured it out. Thanks anyway
