A project problem

[bhanma17]

I'm trying to create a program that opens an input file containing a telephoning directory, prompt the user for a first and last name, search and retrieve the proper name with the number attatched, and display the name. Then prompts the user to either try a new name or end program. My code is provided below but I am stumped.., I keep getting programming errors... Oh and it's C++.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

void NamePrompt(string&, string&);
void SearchName(string&, string);

int main()
{
ifstream myInfile;
myInfile.open ("input.txt");
if (!myInfile)
{
cout<< "Can't open the input file. Try a different file later."<<endl;
cout<< "Program terminated.";
return 1;
}

int process;
process = 1;

while(process==1)
{
string userChoice;
string nameMatch;
NamePrompt(userChoice);
SearchName(nameMatch);
if(!nameMatch)
{
cout<< "Name not found."<<endl;
cout<< "Would you like to search for a different name?";
cout<< "If yes, type 1. Otherwise, input any other numerical value to end program.";
cin>>process;
if (process!=1)
{
cout<< "Thank you for using TeleDirect. Goodbye.";
char exit_char;
cout<< "Press any char and <enter> to exit.";
cin>>exit_char;
}
}

cout<< "The match is...,";
cout<<endl;
cout<<nameMatch;
cout<<endl<< "Hopefully this is the right match..."<<endl;
cout<< "Would you like to try a different search?"<<endl;
cout<< "If yes, type 1. Otherwise, input any other numerical value to end program.";
cin>>process;
}

myInfile.close();
return 0;
}

//************************************************** *************************//
void NameMatch(string& firstName, string& lastName)
{
string firstName;
string lastName;
cout<< "Enter the person's first name: ";
cin>>firstName;
cout<< "Enter the person's last name :";
cin>>lastName;
userChoice = firstName+' '+lastName;

}

//************************************************** *************************//
void SearchName(string& nameMatch, string userChoice)

{
nameMatch= cin.getline(cin, userChoice);
}

Hi,

I think, I solved all the compilation errors.

 
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
 
using namespace std;
 
void NamePrompt(string&);

int main()
{
   ifstream 
      myInfile;
   int 
      nProcess = 0;
 
   myInfile.open ("input.txt");
   if (!myInfile)
   {
      cout<< "Can't open the input file. Try a different file later."<<endl;
      cout<< "Program terminated.";
      return 1;
   }
 
   nProcess = 1;
 
   while(nProcess == 1)
   {
      string 
         strUserChoice,
         strNameMatch;
 
      NamePrompt(strUserChoice);
      SearchName(strNameMatch, strUserChoice);
      if(strNameMatch.empty())
      {
         cout<< "Name not found."<<endl;
         cout<< "Would you like to search for a different name?";

            cin>>exit_char;
         }
      }
 
      cout<< "The match is...,\n";      
      cout<<strNameMatch;
      cout<<endl<< "Hopefully this is the right match..."<<endl;
      cout<< "Would you like to try a different search?"<<endl;
      cout<< "If yes, type 1. Otherwise, input any other numerical value to end program.";
      cin>>nProcess;
   }
 
   myInfile.close();
   return 0;
}
 
//************************************************** *************************//
void NamePrompt(string& a_strUserChoice)
{
   string 
      strFirstName,
      strLastName;
 
   cout<< "Enter the person's first name: ";
   cin>>strFirstName;
   cout<< "Enter the person's last name :";
   cin>>strLastName;
 
   a_strUserChoice = strFirstName + " " + strLastName;
}
 
//************************************************** *************************//
void SearchName(string& a_strNameMatch, string a_strUserChoice)
{
   // a_strNameMatch = cin.getline(cin, a_strUserChoice);
   // Do your logic here to search the user choice.
   // and set the result.
   a_strNameMatch = "Hai";
 
}
 
 

Hope this may help you.
