I'm writing code for an address book that the information will be output to a text file in alphabetical order. I have most of the code, and I have done this kind of thing before, but it has been over a year since coding. So, just a start would be greatly appreciated.

what compiler r u using for these code?
i've tried many times to get student id and their name then sort in a file
using borland.
can u help me?

here r the code

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

int main()
{

      //declare file stream
     ifstream inFile;
     ofstream outFile;

     //open the files

     inFile.open ("D:\\notepad\\stulist.txt");//open the file input
     outFile.open ("D:\\notepad\\outstulist.txt");//open the file output

    //declare variables
    int i,Id,test1,test2,test3,ave;
   string name;

   //looping
   for (i=1;i<=20;i++)
   {

        inFile>>Id>>name>>test1>>test2>>test3>>ave;
    outFile<<Id<<name<<test1<<test2<<test3<<ave;
    cout<<i<<"\t"<<Id<<"\t"<<name<<"\t"<<test1<<"\t"<<test2<<"\t"<<test3;
      cout<<"\t"<<ave;
    cout<<endl;
    //display output of file
   }

   if (inFile)
   {
      ave=(test1+test2+test3)/3;
   }
   //file cannot read
   if(!inFile)
   {
   cout<<"Cannot open the file!"<<endl;
   }
   //close file
    inFile.close();
    outFile.close();

   getche();


}

im newbie in C++.i dont know how to sort this

tq.great appreciation

We use MS Visual Studio for our code hope this helps.

My initial problem is fixed and now I have another, when using char and strcmp, my code does not allow for the user to input more than one word per line. Like address cannot have spaces in it. How can I alleviate the situation with changing the char to strings and not have an error with strcmp?? Otherwise if I change the char's to strings I get this error.
Error 1 error C2664: 'strcmp' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'std::string' to 'const char *' i:\312 2\binary search tree\binary search tree\menu.cpp 119
