I put a system pause in the program so that I can see it and it still is disappearing when I enter 0.

The system("Pause") only executes if execution actually gets to that point. Do you see any other place where you might be ending the program before the system("pause") ?

yes the cerr point. But if this is the case I am not seeing where I am doing anything wrong. This is my first week at files so I am very very new to it . But I am practicing with the file Input/Output and the only thing in our text that it is showing us any example of is just one buffer not what to do when you have more than one variable like i have.

so this means my error is somewhere between here!

file.open(file_name, ios::in);

	if (!file)
	{
		cerr<<endl;
		cerr<<"ERROR: File could not be opened." <<endl;
		cerr<< "Program Terminated"<<endl;
		exit(1);
	}

	

	while (!file.eof())
	{
		file>>id_no>>qoh>>price;

		total = qoh*price;
			if (total > 3000.00)
			{
				cout<<setw(8) <<id_no<<setw(10)<<qoh<<setw(10)<<price<<setw(12)<<total<<endl;
			}

			
	}
	file.close();
	cout<<"Program Terminated."<<endl;

system("PAUSE");

return 0;
}

If your program prints these error messages then its clear that you are calling exit() and it leaves the program from this point without executing the code any further...

    if (!file)
    {
        cerr<<endl;
        cerr<<"ERROR: File could not be opened." <<endl;
        cerr<< "Program Terminated"<<endl;
        exit(1);
    }

Well! You might call for PAUSE before exit():

system("pause");
exit(1);

Hope this Helps!

[llwilkins]

Ok. I did do the system pause before and it is telling me it could not call the file. Why is this? The file was created because when I looked into the project I saw where it created it and it was created correctly because i did it in .txt file so that I could see it.

Here is the output to the file I created

10 100 10
20 200 20
30 300 30


The only other thing that I can see not knowing the file thing to a tee is this

file.open(file_name, ios::in);

that is right above the cerr. Am I calling the file right here? Because its obvious that if the file is failing to open that it is not been called right.

[AKMafia001]

Why reopening it? Just do it at once,

fstream file(file_name, ios::in | ios::out);

This would work with istream objects but I think it might not work with fstream object:
13 while (!file.eof())

I think this works! That would be while(file) which might not work with fstream...

We have learned that part yet just the part
file.open(file_name, ios::in);

Looks like something is going right it is doing what it suppose to the only problem now is that when it displays the record that is over 3,000.00 it won't stop it keeps repeating it.

In the following snippet, how do you expect to exit this loop?

	while (!file.eof())
	{
		
		
		total = qoh*price;
			if (total > 3000.00)
			{
				cout<<setw(8) <<id_no<<setw(10)<<qoh<<setw(10)<<price<<setw(12)<<total<<endl;
			}
			
	}

Since you aren't doing anything with the file inside this loop it should never reach eof().

Because the file pointer is just in its place and is not moving, hence not reaching EOF... That's because you didn't read anything from the file in the loop...

And why even you would use a loop here,

77	    while (!file.eof())
78	    {
79	         
80	         
81	        total = qoh*price;
82	            if (total > 3000.00)
83	            {
84	                cout<<setw(8) <<id_no<<setw(10)<<qoh<<setw(10)<<price<<setw(12)<<total<<endl;
85	            }

You are doing the same stuff again and again, calculate total, check total, do it again(with the same values)...

That was the problem. I was looking at an example and thought we had to do this for this weeks program. I fixed it and it works perfectly. Thank you so much guys!!!!

For some reason this program is compiling but it is going through a never ending loop when it is doing the search for the total greater than 3,000.00. I was told before to take out the while loop by a person up here and when I did this, it only displayed the last total that was greater than 3,000.00 but not all of them. I took what I had to my instructor and he said I was missing a while loop. So its obvious it is needed. The problem is when it is put back in it still just keeps going and going. Any assistance will help!!!

This is insertion operator <<, then how come you say obtain a new record from file... It just writes to the file...

090	            //obtain the next file record
091	            file<<id_no<<qoh<<price;

If you want to read from the file, use the extraction operator >>...

You have created an instance of an ofstream, this can only be used for output. Try using an fstream instead. Then you won't need to open and close the file to do input and output to this stream.
