[RESOLVED] Newbie on C++. Help in Structures

Hi guys!

I have a text file name "Employee.txt"..
The text contains the following:

Code:

---

Juan_De_La_Cruz,A001,1
Miriam_Bismonte,A002,1
Gloria_Macapagal,A003,3
Manny_Pacquiao,A004,3
Jose_Rizal,A005,2

---

What I wanted to do right now is I kinda put the data in the text file into a structure that I created so that I can easily access the files when I try to search for something like the name of the employee.

Here is my code so far and I'm kinda stuck right now because I don't know what to do. Feel free to criticize my code because I'm new in c++ and it will help me improve a lot.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

struct Employees
{
        char EmployeeName[50];
        char EmployeeID[10];
        int Level;
};

int main ()
{
        using namespace std;       
        int offset;
        char EmpCode[20];
        string line;

        cout << "----Payroll System----" << endl;
        cout << "Enter Employee Code: \n";
        cin >> EmpCode;
       
        ifstream Employee;
        Employee.open("employee.txt");
        if(Employee.is_open())
        {
                while (!Employee.eof())
                {
                        getline(Employee, line);
                        if ((offset = line.find(EmpCode, 0)) != string::npos)
                                cout << line << endl;
                }

                Employee.close();
               
        }
        else
                cout << "Unable to open this file" << endl;

        return 0;
}

I learned how to code in C++ on youtube by watching thenewboston topics about C++ and a couple of google search.

Note: I was actually trying to create a Payroll System so please ignore the part with the cin >> EmpCode. :wave:

I finally found a solution to my problem. What it does is it stores a record in the structure that I created if the computer finds the record inputted by the user...it took me a while but at least problem solve.. :D

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;       

struct newperson
{
        string EmployeeName;
        string EmployeeID;
        string Level;
} ListEmp;

int main ()
{
       
        int offset;
        char EmpCode[20];
        string line;
        size_t found;

        cout << "----Payroll System----" << endl;
        cout << "Enter Employee Code: \n";
        cin >> EmpCode;
       
        ifstream Employee;
        Employee.open("employee.txt");
        if(Employee.is_open())
        {
                while (!Employee.eof())
                {
                        getline(Employee, line);
                        if ((offset = line.find(EmpCode, 0)) != string::npos)
                                cout << line << endl;

                                istringstream iss(line);       
                                getline(iss, ListEmp.EmployeeName, ',');
                                getline(iss, ListEmp.EmployeeID, ',');
                                getline(iss, ListEmp.Level, ',');

                                break;
                               
                }

                Employee.close();
               
                cout << "Employee Name: " <<ListEmp.EmployeeName << endl;               
               
        }
        else
                cout << "Unable to open this file" << endl;

        return 0;
}
