More Used Car Dealership Help

[Diabolique]

I posted about this assignment last night, and am now almost completed. I just have one more thing that i need to figure out. On option 6 of my main menu, I'm supposed to be able to upload some .txt files that were given to me as part of the assignment (I'll include them below). I don't just need to output the next, but I actually need to have the text added into my car inventory in the appropriate parts.
I'm not allowed to touch the class header or the functions. I'm working exclusively within main(), and focused on the if(option == 6) portion.

Here is my code so far, including the class header and functions (which are stored in different files in my compiler).

Hi,

If you have more questions about the same subject, can we ask you to just keep the original Topic going :+). Duplicate Topics can become a time waster for those who reply, the same things are said by different respondents in different topics. If one does a new post in a topic, it will be bumped to the top of the list.

Cheers :+)

Done. Thanks for the tip, I'm new here. Is there a way to delete this thread?

Hi,

One can delete their own posts, then I can delete mine :+) This will be fine as long as no one else posts.
