the program keeps track of a persons musical library. addsong checks to make sure that the data being entered is not already present in the file. if it is present, it is not added, if it isn't present, it is added at the end of the file.
the removesong function is what i'm having trouble with. i've asked for the desired song to remove and corresponding artist. the program is supposed to open the file, and see if the entered song and artist exist. if it does, the data should be deleted from the file and instead become blank strings in the corresponding vectors.
here is the code
#include <iostream> // For input and output to the monitor
#include <fstream> // For file input and output (given)
#include <string> // For text data
#include <vector> // library for using vectors
using namespace std; // To make is easier put this in global namespace
void addsong(vector<string>&, vector<string>&, vector<string>&);
// function: this adds songs to the library
// parameters: string title, string artist, string genre
// functionality: prompts the user for the parameters and checks to make sure
// the song isn't already in the library
void removesong(vector<string>& titles, vector<string>& artists, vector<string>& genres);
// function: this removes songs from the library and replaces them with whitespace
// parameters: title, artist, genre
// funtionality: prompts user for song and artist of song wishing to remove
