The details i already upload.See the attachment.The due date is tomorrow,i hope someone can help me.Thanks!

>The due date is tomorrow
And you were given the assignment today, I'm sure. :icon_rolleyes: You seem like yet another boob who screwed around when he should have been working and expects us to provide a free lunch.

You want help? Show us your code. If it looks like you've actually been working on this assignment, you'll appear less like a hopeless leech.

Here is my code.But some function does not working.And i dun noe how to make the date and time automatically updated.???

Amazing! I see you in a completely different light now. It's incredible how showing your code changes you from a leech into someone who deserves help.

>But some function does not working.
Which ones? No offense, but that's a lot of code to troubleshoot with only the "not working" bug report.

>i dun noe how to make the date and time automatically updated
I'm not sure if you're allowed to use it, but strftime is the easiest way to format a date and time. Just call it when you need to update the string and you're solid. Here's an example of how to use it for the current time:

#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  char dummy;

  do {
    char buffer[1024];
    time_t now = time ( 0 );

    strftime ( buffer, 1024, "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S", localtime ( &now ) );
    std::cout<< buffer <<'\n';
  } while ( std::cin.get ( dummy ) );
}

Mr.Programmer,did you open the file i attached?Can u help me write the program or modified my code?

>did you open the file i attached?
Seeing as how that was the only way I could have known the required format for the date-time, it's safe to assume that I did. Thanks for asking though.

>Can u help me write the program or modified my code?
Can you read? Because I'm certain I asked you for more detail. If you fail to provide that detail, I'm not going to spend my valuable time rooting through your mass of code trying to find bugs when I have no vested interest in the program.

Mr.Programmer,i hope u will help me because i really don't know how to continue my work on it

How to add and search :if i add

how to make this two contact apppear when i type jimmy in search function?


And how to use the auto update time and date in my program?how to declare it?

It sounds like you need a map, or an algorithm to determine a match for a set amount of values.

Personally, to get things working, I'd take the easy way out until I found a more efficient solution.

What immediately comes to mind is something like this--

#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <utility>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using std::string;
using std::map;
using std::pair;
using std::vector;

template<class L, class N> void safeInsert(map<L, vector<N> >&, L, N);
template<class L, class N> pair<L, vector<N> > safePair(L, vector<N>);

template<class L, class R>
void safeInsert(map<L, vector<R> > &m, L key, R value){
    if(&m[key] == NULL){
        vector<R> temp;
        temp.push_back(value);
        m.insert(safePair<L, R>(key, temp));
    }
    else m[key].push_back(value);
}

template<class L, class R>
pair<L, vector<R> > safePair(L lhs, vector<R> rhs){
    pair<L, vector<R> > p (lhs, rhs);
    return p;
}

int main(){

    map<string, vector<string> > myList;
    safeInsert(myList, string("Joe"), string("Joe"));
    safeInsert(myList, string("Joe"), string("Joe Smith"));
    safeInsert(myList, string("Bob"), string("Bob Marley"));

    vector<string> result = myList[string("Joe")];

    for(vector<string>::iterator next = result.begin(); next != result.end(); next++)
        std::cout << *next << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

-- though again it might not be perfect, but it meets the criteria without dipping far into algorithms or relying on queries to achieve similar results.

Edit: Rereading the post, I realized you need either a regex or a parser to determine the key to use the above method.
