help filling arrays

[yost87]

sorry for the format errors, I am new but will catch on...
Below is the code I wrote, and following that is the list of passengers that make up the text file manifest.txt.


//FinalTest.cpp -- Compile with manifest.txt
// This program gives choice to user to takes data from
// user input or existing list of passengers/preferences.
// Compile with manifest.txt
//

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

const int SIZE = 25;
const int passNum = 2; // must contain the number of passengers on list
char choice;
char q;
char Q;
int k;
int x =0 ;

struct passList // structure for passenger information
{
char fName[SIZE];
char lName[SIZE];
char pref;
int row;
int seat;
};

void showMenu(); // function prototype
void displayLine(); // function prototype
void bookNewmenu(int x, passList[]); // function prototype

int main()
{
passList passInfo[passNum]; // declare the passenger list (an array of structure)

// perhaps the loop to show the menu, get the choices and do the data entry should be here
showMenu(); // SHOW MENU CHOICES

cin >> choice;

switch(choice)
{
case 'A' :
case 'a' :// for (k = 0; k < passNum; k++) // view passenger information list
{
cout << "Run list from file" << endl;
//  cout << manifesst.txt
while(choice !='Q' && choice != 'q') // terminate?
{
passInfo[passNum]; // const passNum = 41 type passList objects
ifstream.open("manifest.txt");  inFile used to read manifest.txt
//  manifest.open("manifest.txt"); // opens the file(manifest) for data storage

if (!manifest.is_open()) // FAILED to open file
{
cout << "Could not open file " << endl;
cout << "Program terminating.\n";
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

for(x = 0; x < passNum; x++)
{
manifest >> passInfo[x].lName;
manifest >> passInfo[x].fName;
manifest >> passInfo[x].pref;
manifest >> passInfo[x].row;
manifest >> passInfo[x].seat;

}
manifest.close(); // finished with file
}

void displayLine(); // function call

// cin.get();
// system("pause");
return 0;
}
system("pause");
system("CLS");
break;
}

case 'B' :
case 'b' : for (k = 0; k < passNum; k++) // book new flight menu
// should loop inside here to do the booking as long as ?????
{
//int fill_passInfo(passList passInfo[k], int SIZE)
cout << "***New booking menu function should start*
**";
// function calls have the name of the function and the parameters (if any)
// do not put VOID in front of a function call
// VOID belongs in definitions (prototypes)
bookNewmenu(k, passInfo ); // programmer defined function definitions
system("pause");
system("CLS");
cout << "back from the function";
cout << passInfo[k].lName << '\t' << passInfo[k].fName << '\t' << passInfo[k].pref;
break;
}
case 'Q' :
case 'q' :
{
cout << "Quitting the program\n"; // Quit
// exit();
}
system("pause");
system("CLS");
break;
default : cout << "This is not a choice. \n";
}




// ***Function definitions***
void bookNewmenu(int x ,passList passInfo[] ) // programmer defined function definitions
// recommend that you print the passInfo list both here and
// back in main - so you can be sure that the stuff is there

{
cout << "\t\tFAST FLIGHT AIRLIINES\n"
 << "\t -- Passenger Information System --\n";

displayLine();
displayLine();

cout <<" -- Book New Flight --\n";
cout << "Please enter your first name: ";
cin >> passInfo[x].fName;
cout << "Please enter your last name: ";
cin >> passInfo[x].lName;
cout << "Please choose Smoking or Non-smoking: ";
cin >> passInfo[x].pref;
cout << "Please enter seat number: ";
cin >> passInfo[x].row;
cout << "Please enter row number: ";
cin >> passInfo[x].seat;
cout << passInfo[x].lName << '\t' << passInfo[x].fName << '\t' << passInfo[x].pref;
cout << '\t' << passInfo[x].row << '\t' << passInfo[x].seat << endl;
} // end of BookNewmenu

//  int fill_array(int fillarray[], int passNum); // trying to figure out how to fill this array


void showMenu() // programmer defined function definition THIS WORKS!
{
cout << "\t\tFAST FLIGHT AIRLIINES\n"
"\t -- Passenger Information System --\n"
"Welcome to the Fast Flight passenger information manager\n"
"__________________________________________________________\n"
"\nPlease choose from the following options: \n\n"
"\ta - View Passenger Information List\n\n"
"\tb - Book new flight\n\n"
"\tq - Quit program\n\n\n"
"Please enter your choice:__\b";


return ;
} // end of showMenu function

     void displayLine()
          {     
          }
  //   << endl; end of displayLine function
//  return 0;

The following list can be saved as manifest.txt to be used with program;

The problem is that I want to use an array of 10 rows and 3 columns as a passenger list for a flight. I want to create a program that allows a user to choose from 3 choices:
1 - use manifest.txt as input data for passenger list
2 - enter passenger list data manually
3 - quit program

There are 41 passengers on the list (manifest.txt) so any 11 will be sent to one of two waiting lists: one for smoking and one for non-smoking.

If a passengers' seat request is taken, I want the passenger placed in the next closes seat.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
