Cant Search 2 files together :(

Hey anshu ! Can you show me the output, you are getting with your code right now? If I am not wrong, your shared code is not complete right?

Where are C++ users ? 😐

Anshu,
I havent done C/C++ coding in more or less a decade now 😀, but here are some things I would want you to check -
- person.retphone_person() return type is a string and not an integer
- we might need to see your person class as well

Hey Guys..

Thanks for your reply..

here is my whole code

@Slashfear This guy need your help 😀

Hey anush,

wuff.... ok I will take it from here Shalini ;-)....... Let me see what i can do......😒

Hmmm ok so here is what I can help buddy, First of all sorry buddy, i couldn't go through your code fully(as i am little busy😔) any way's I will show you an sample of how to do the searching, just replace the appropriate function and file name to be searched in the below code and include this piece of code in your R_search():

So here is a tidbit of how you would do the comparison of the input with the person's info stored in a file...

if (strcmp(telephonevar, book[i]->getTelephone()) == 0) {
     // found telephone number owner
     // Print the name and address
     cout << "Name: " << book[i]->getName() << " address: " << book[i]->getAddress() << endl;
}

What you will need is an array of these person classes which will serve as your "telephone" book and a function that will run a search on this array. So lets say that someone types in a phone number, you then loop through the array of Person classes comparing the input with the persons telephone number using the class' getTelephone() accessor method. When you find a match, then you just access the class and display the name and address.

If you put that into a loop where "book" is an array of Person classes and "i" is the loop's index variable, you can quickly locate the person with the phone number and similarly for searching the second file you can use an else statement after the if and give the info of the second file to be searched....😁

Try this and you will get the desired output buddy, and if you still have any prob just let us know....!!😉
