Adivce on populating a datastructure with textfile

[voidflux]

Hello everyone!

I'm devloping an address book and I hope it will do the following:
-Add new entry
-Delete entry
-Display all entries
-Sort entries based on lastname

If time permits to also search entries.

Here is what I have so far:

//Person.h

....
....
....
friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Person& p);


private:
	string name;
	string phone;
	string city;
	string state;
	string address;
	int zip;


};

//Person.cpp
...
...
...
//overloading ostream for pretty formatting
ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, const Person& p)
{
	os << p.getName()	<<" " <<p.getAddress() <<" "
	   << p.getCity()	<<" " <<p.getState() << " " 
	   << p.getZip()	<<" " <<p.getPhone() << "\n";
	return os;
}

In my main function I have a sample program to do a messy input into a text file:

#include "Person.h"
#include <fstream>

void main()
{
	Person p("Cory Sanchez","814-591-0187",
		"2217 Bond street","Brockway","PA",15824);
	
	Person c;
	c.setName("Alisa Haney");
	c.setPhone("814-268-1207");
	c.setCity("Brockway");
	c.setState("PA");
	c.setZip(15821);
	c.setAddress("2217 Bond Street Ext");
	
	cout <<"Name: " << p.getName() << endl;
	cout <<"Phone: " << p.getPhone() << endl;
	cout <<"City: " << p.getCity() << endl;
	cout <<"State: " << p.getState() << endl;
	cout <<"Zip: " << p.getZip() << endl;
	
	cout << p;

	
	ofstream myfile;
	myfile.open ("C:\\example.txt");
	myfile << c;
	myfile << p;

	myfile.close();

}

This will output the following to a text file named example.txt:

Alisa Haney 2217 Bond Street Ext Brockway PA 15821 814-268-1207
Cory Sanchez 2217 Bond street Brockway PA 15824 814-591-0187

Now what I want to do is read that text file and populate a data structure of some kid, a map or a set or any other data structure (i'm not sure which would be best yet for sorting/adding/deleting).

Should I break up my text file with pipes? like:
Cory| Sanchez | 2217 Bond Street | Brockway | PA| 15824 | 814-268-1027 '\n';

That way I read until I hit a '|' then place whatever I read into the proper data member, like name? By writing this it makes me think I need to break the data member 'name' into fristName and lastName




So once I read the first line, each object will have the all the data to mess around with.

Am I designing my class correctly so when it comes time I will be able to implement my desired operations on the data?


EDIT: I also am going to need to add a menu, but im' not sure where it would be placed. Its not related to Person so I wouldn't put it in a Person class, but the menu doesn't have any data members, its just going to be a simple function with some switch statements.
Thanks!
