Question

Option 1: Write a program that will: 1) read an array of records from the keyboard, 2) store this information to a binary file, 3) read from the binary file back to the array of records, 4) store this information to a textfile. Left justify the information for each field. Each record will consist of the following fields:

first name 15 characters last name 15 characters street address 30 characters city 20 characters state 5 characters zip long integer

You may assume a maximum of 20 records.
This assignment is very similar to the program found in Lab 12.3.

Sample Run:

Enter the following information Person

Explanation / Answer

This is working now :

#include <fstream>

#include <iostream>

#include <cctype> // for toupper function

using namespace std;

struct Peopleinfo//__attribute__((packed)) Peopleinfo // declaring a structure

{

char fname[15];

char lname[15];

char staddr[30];

char city[20];

char state[5];

long int zipcode;

};

int main()

{

fstream infofile ("infofile.dat", ios::out | ios::binary);

// defines infofile as an output binary file

Peopleinfo people_rec ; // defines student as a record (struct)

Peopleinfo opeople_rec;

char input; // used to determine if there is more input

do

{

cout << "Enter the following information" << endl;

cout << "First Name: ";

cin.getline(people_rec.fname,15);

cout << "Last Name: ";

cin.getline(people_rec.lname,15);

cout << "Street Address: ";

cin.getline(people_rec. staddr,30);

cout << "City: ";

cin.getline(people_rec.city,20);

cout << "State: ";

cin.getline(people_rec.city,5);

cout << "Zip Code :";

cin >> people_rec.zipcode;

cin.ignore(); // ignore rest of line

// write this record to the file

infofile.write((char *) &people_rec, sizeof(people_rec));

cout << "Enter a Y if you would like to input more data ";

cin >> input;

cin.ignore();

} while (toupper(input) == 'Y');

infofile.close();

ofstream outfile;

outfile.open ("outputfile.txt");

fstream file ("infofile.dat", ios::in| ios::out|ios::binary);

file.read(opeople_rec.fname, sizeof(opeople_rec.fname));

file.read(opeople_rec.lname, sizeof(opeople_rec.lname));

file.read(opeople_rec.staddr, sizeof(opeople_rec.staddr));

file.read(opeople_rec.city, sizeof(opeople_rec.city));

file.read(opeople_rec.state, sizeof(opeople_rec.state));

file.read(reinterpret_cast<char *>(&opeople_rec.zipcode), sizeof(opeople_rec.zipcode));

if(file.is_open())

{

while (!file.eof()) {

cout << "Reading from Binary File";

file.read(opeople_rec.fname, sizeof(opeople_rec.fname));

file.read(opeople_rec.lname, sizeof(opeople_rec.lname));

file.read(opeople_rec.staddr, sizeof(opeople_rec.staddr));

file.read(opeople_rec.city, sizeof(opeople_rec.city));

file.read(opeople_rec.state, sizeof(opeople_rec.state));

file.read(reinterpret_cast<char *>(&opeople_rec.zipcode), sizeof(opeople_rec.zipcode));

outfile<< opeople_rec.fname;

outfile<<opeople_rec.lname;

outfile<<opeople_rec.staddr;

outfile<<opeople_rec.city;

outfile<<opeople_rec.state;

outfile<<opeople_rec.zipcode;

outfile<<" ";

}

file.close();

}

else cout << "Unable to open file";

cout<<"Completed Writing into Text File";

return 0;

}
