How to Search For a Word and Display Line Containing that Word and Specific # Lines After
I am STUCK! I have searched and searched and searched through every example and I can not find anything that has helped me! I'm using Dev-C++. The program that I am trying to write is broken down into sections. The user will choose an option from a menu and lead the user to that particular section. I am completely stuck on option 2 and 3 (I am working by section and saving the hardest for last lol!). So for section 3, I need the user to enter a Job #, have the program search my file for that job number, and display the line that contains that job number, and the seven lines that follow that job number. For option 2 I need to be able to update a particular job multiple times as it progresses through our processes, but I will repost that when I finish option 3 (easy does it mister lol!). Any help is greatly appreciated! Blow is my code, and a sample of what my file will look like.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int menuoption;
string jobnumber;
string account;
string description;
char me;
string findnumber;
char c;
ofstream myfile;
ifstream ourfile;
cout<<"JM Designs \n\n";
cout<<"Please choose from the following options.\n\n";
cout<<" 1. Enter New Job Information. \n\n";
cout<<" 2. Update Existing Job Information. \n\n";
cout<<" 3. Display Job Information. \n\n";
cout<<" 4. Display Report. \n\n";
cout<<" 5. Exit. \n\n";
cin>>menuoption;
if (menuoption == 1)
{
myfile.open("jobs.txt", ios::app);
if( myfile.is_open())
{
myfile.seekp(ios_base::end);
}
cout<<"Enter Job Number : ";
cin>>jobnumber;
cout<<"\n";
myfile<<"Job #"<<jobnumber<<endl;
cout<<"Enter Account : ";
cin.ignore();
getline(cin, account);
cout<<"\n";
myfile<<"Account : "<<account<<endl;
cout<<"Enter Description : ";
getline(cin, description);
myfile<<"Description : "<<description<<endl;
myfile<<"Wax : "<<endl;
myfile<<"Cast : "<<endl;
myfile<<"Clean Up : "<<endl;
myfile<<"Set : "<<endl;
myfile<<"Completed : "<<endl;
myfile<<"\n";
myfile.close();
}
else if (menuoption == 2)
{
cout<<"Enter Job Number You Wish to Update : ";
cin>>findnumber;
cout<<"\n";
}
else if (menuoption == 3)
{
ourfile.open("jobs.txt");
cout<<"Enter Job Number You Wish to View : ";
cin>>jobnumber;
if (jobnumber != "\n")
{
getline(ourfile,jobnumber);
cout<<jobnumber<<endl;
getline(ourfile,jobnumber);
cout<<jobnumber<<endl;
getline(ourfile,jobnumber);
cout<<jobnumber<<endl;
getline(ourfile,jobnumber);

getline(ourfile,jobnumber);
cout<<jobnumber<<endl;
getline(ourfile,jobnumber);
cout<<jobnumber<<endl;
cout<<"\n";
}
ourfile.close();
system("PAUSE");
}
else if (menuoption == 4)
{
ourfile.open("jobs.txt", ios::in);
ourfile.get(c);
while(!ourfile.fail() && !ourfile.eof())
{
cout << c;
ourfile.get(c);
}
ourfile.close();
system("PAUSE");
}
else if (menuoption == 5)
{
cout<<"Are You Sure You Would Like to Exit? (Y or N) : ";
cin>>me;
}
else
{
cout<<"You Have Entered A Wrong Command, Please Try Again ";
}
cout<<"Have A Great Day!";
return 0;

Don't know if I can help you, but you might want to copy and paste the code using the <> format first.
