Inputing data into a file Issue

[S7rawMan]

So I'm writing a simple program to mimic an address book for my C++ class. All the data inputted needs to be stored in an external file. I can't seem to get the program to store all the info into a file.

Here's the Code I'm using to input the info into a file:


string fname;
string lname;
string address;
string city;
string state;
int zip=0;
string phone;

ofstream file;
file.open("address.txt", ios::app);
cout<<"Please enter the First Name: ";
getline(cin, fname, '\n');
file<<fname<<endl;
cin.ignore(200, '\n');

cout<<"Please enter the Last Name: ";
getline(cin,lname, '\n');
cin.ignore(200, '\n');

cout<<"Please enter the address: ";
getline(cin,address, '\n');
file<<address<<endl;
cin.ignore(200, '\n');;

cout<<"Please enter city: ";
getline(cin,city, '\n');
file<<city<<endl;
cin.ignore(200, '\n');

cout<<"Please enter State: ";
getline(cin,state, '\n');
file<<state<<endl;
cin.ignore(200, '\n');

cout<<"Please enter zip: ";
cin>>zip;
file<<zip<<endl;

cout<<"Please enter phone number: ";
getline(cin,phone, '\n');
file<<phone<<endl;
cin.ignore(200, '\n');

Then here is what the input screen(pardon termonology) looks like with the input:
Menu
Add (N)ew Record
(V)iew Address Book
(D)elete address
(E)xit
n
Please enter the First Name: Kyle
Please enter the Last Name: Clayson

Please enter the address: Phony Address

Please enter city: Rockafeller Center

Please enter State: Russia

Please enter zip: 998865
Please enter phone number: Sorry not giving u this info

And finally here is what was stored in the file.

Phony Address
Rockafeller Center
Russia
998865

I can't seem to get all the data needed stored into the file. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

Since you use getline to get the strings try omiting cin.ignore(200,'\n');s. Put cin.ignore(200,'\n'); only after you get the int variable zip (cin>>zip;). Let me know if this works.

Thanx roshi, That worked out wonderful. just had to throw another another cin.ignore at the beginning as well.
