Input to a structure array not working?

I wrote this program to help me create a list of medical resources and their attributes, a task I have been performing repeatedly lately. I'm still fairly new to C++, so I thought to create a structure "Resource", and then an array of those structures "city[300]". My problem is that the input doesn't seem to be happening: the program runs, but when it prints to screen/writes to the file at the end, all the shows is:

Resource Type:
Name:
Address:
Phone:
Website:

for every resource that was input. All the fields are blank. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, please help.

        myfile << "\n\n";
    }
    myfile.close();

    return 0;
}
at the bottom, you're using i as the index instead of what it should be : j.

        cout << "\n\n";

        myfile << "\nResource Type: " << city[i].typeID;
        myfile << "\nName: " << city[i].name;
        myfile << "\nAddress: " << city[i].address;
        myfile << "\nPhone: " << city[i].phone;
        myfile << "\nWebsite: " << city[i].website;
        myfile << "\n" << city[i].description;
        myfile << "\n\n";
    }


every reference to city[i] should be replaced with city[j], as the for loop is incrementing j, not i.

Hope that helps
