After adding information, when i choose the option "Display all" it crashes right before it's going to display GPA... can anyone help me...also can anyone help me read from the file into the array... plzz...this is really frustrating...any help greatly appreciated.

My compiler's code critique:

Read this http://www.daniweb.com/forums/announcement8-3.html
and figure out how to use code tags (there's a preview button, use that too).
I didn't look at the code, because it has NO indentation.

Second, figure out whether you want to be a C programmer or a C++ programmer.
Because this random mix of "cin" and "printf" you've got going on is a disaster waiting to happen.

Chash happens because everytime you want to print GPA, you try to print out a float number as a string.

printf("\nGPA: %s", temp_array[i].GPA);

Instead of %s use %f.
