Can't figure out this next part

[tsudeily]

I'm working on my take home final for my Intro to Programming class and need to add the ability to search my class.txt file for a specific record by inputting the student ID. I can't for the life of me figure out what needs to be done.

#include <iostream>

Here is a sample from the class file.

10364	Denaro		Tony		73	85	55	68	89
17600	DeNinno		David		62	68	93	84	75

If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it.

So, what is supposed to be the output? -- just one of these records?

[tsudeily]

Can't believe I forgot that. This things frying my brain... The output's goal should resemble this

Enter Student ID (999 to end): 61084
   Cruz          Waldemar    86.3 B

[pseudorandom21]

Search for record by student ID:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   ifstream inFile;
   string result = "";
   string id = "10364";
   string line;
   inFile.open("records.txt",ios::binary);
   while( getline(inFile,line) )
   {
      stringstream ss(line);
      if( ss >> result )
      {
         if(result == id)
         {
            //parse the rest of the record.
         }
      }
   }
   
}

Happy Holidays, and beware of potential bugs, this isn't your entire assignment, just a sample of something that will hopefully work.

As for your existing code, every time I see while (!inF.eof()) it means that you may not be aware of it reading one past the end of the file, basically it reads the EOF stuff because .eof() only returns true after you hit the end of the line.

I've always followed this example and it has served me well:

string word;
string number;
ifstream inFile("somestuff.txt",ios::binary);
while( inFile >> word >> number )
{
   cout << word << " " << number << endl;
}
if(inFile.bad())//if badbit
{
   cerr << "Bad! Input bad!" << endl;//lol
}

or

string line;
string word;
string number;
ifstream inFile("somestuff.txt",ios::binary);
while(getline(inFile, line))
{
   stringstream ss(line);//stringstream from line.
   if( ss >> word >> number )
      cout << "OK.\n";
   else
      cerr << "Bad!\n";
}

I suggest loading the data before doing any calculations.
Only do calculations when they are called-for.

That way, you can ensure your code is clean at each step and you can change pieces of it without having to disturb all of the code at once.

Are you expected (or allowed to) use C++ "classes"?
