I am writing a simple program that stores employee info into a.txt file. It is supposed to continue writing profiles infinitely until 'n' is chosen to close file. The problem is that every time i enter in a new Emp. the previous gets overwritten, can someone help me see my oversight? Thank You in advance.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib> // needed for exit()
#include <string>
#include <iomanip> // needed for formatting
using namespace std;
struct
{
string Names;
string Social;
double HourlyRate;
double HoursWorked;
} employee_info;
int main()
{
char contn = 'y';
char exitf = 'n';
string filename = "employee_info.txt"; // initialize the filename up front
ofstream outFile;
outFile.open(filename.c_str());
fstream file1;
if (outFile.fail())
{
cout << "The file was not successfully opened" << endl;
exit(1);
}
{
string employee;
while (contn == 'y')
{
cout << "Please enter Employee Name \n";
getline (cin,employee_info.Names);
cout << "Please enter Employee Social Security Number \n";
getline (cin,employee_info.Social);
cout << "Please enter Employee's Hourly Rate \n";
cin >> employee_info.HourlyRate;
cout << "Please enter Hours Worked \n";
cin >> employee_info.HoursWorked;
cout << " Enter y if you would like to enter another employee. \nEnter n to write to file. : \n ";
cin >> contn;
cin.ignore();
// set the output file stream formats
outFile << setiosflags(ios::fixed)
<< setiosflags(ios::showpoint)
<< setprecision(2);
// send data to the file
}
outFile << employee_info.Names <<endl<< employee_info.Social <<endl<< employee_info.HourlyRate <<endl<< employee_info.HoursWorked << endl;
file1.open("employee_info.txt",ios::app);
}
while (exitf == 'n')
{
outFile.close();
cout << "The file " << filename
<< " has been successfully written." << endl;
return 0;
}}
Name your struct:
struct employee
{
string Names;
string Social;
double HourlyRate;
double HoursWorked;
};
Then in main, make a std::vector
of these employee structs.
( #include <vector>
at the top) then std::vector<employee> empvec
At the top of the while loop, create a new employee
employee temp;
At the end of the loop, push_back()
your new employee
with all of the data. empvec.push_back(temp)
;
