I want to use the data members to store the info on the file and then read and display them through these two member functions in the class but i can't think of syntax. i made global variables but didn't use the data members in the class. i stored and read data by global variables but couldn't do it by data members of the class.

#include<iostream.h>
#include<fstream.h>

/* Making Global Pointer Variables to use anywhere in the program*/
             const char* ID =       "VUID          = "mc123456789";

             const char* stdntnme = "Name          = "xxxx xxxx xxxx";
