Wrong in my code

[mbouster]

Dear all
I have the following code

void initializeData()
{
	Customers *CustArray;
	CustArray=new Customers[150];//allocate 150 memory locations of class Customers  
	Flights *FL=new Flights[150];
	}
/*End Initialize Data fuction*/
/**********************************************************************************************************************************/
/*Backup Menu implementation*/

void backupfiledefaultfilename()
{	    

	ofstream file_ptr; // Declares a file pointer.
	file_ptr.open(“backup.bak”, ios::out); 
	if (!file_ptr)
	    { cout << “Error opening file.\n”; }
	    else
	    {
	    // Rest of output commands go here.
			for (int c=0; c>150; c++) 
			{
			file_ptr.write(&CustArray[c], sizeof(Customers));
			}
			for (int n=0; n>150; n++) 
			{
			file_ptr.write(&FL[n], sizeof(Flights));
			}
	}
}

gives me an arror on these lines
file_ptr.open(“backup.bak”, ios::out);
file_ptr.write(&CustArray[c], sizeof(Customers));
file_ptr.write(&FL[n], sizeof(Flights));

What to do?

What to do?

Ficed the error on the first line.
Now the problem on the following line its becasue its a function? and these are not see outside the function?
how I am going to declare globally a declaration inside a fuction?

'CustArray' is declared in initializeData(). Therefore 'custArray' is local to initializeData(). 'custArray' is unavailable in backupfiledefaultfilename().

You want to make 'CustArray' global to use in backupfiledefaultfilename().

[Akill10]

Or you could pass custArray into the backupfiledefaultfilename() as a parameter.

[mbouster]

Can you please give me an example how to use them globally?
I have them in my main because i want them to be initalized after the user log in into the program..

I am really stuct in this

[chikkupa]

Please send your full code.

[mbouster]

May I ask something before postng my code.
The functions backupfiledefaultfilename() etc we are discussing here should be member functions of the class Customers???

[mbouster]

I have edited a little bit my code :

SO I have a switch statement in a function:I have made the initialiazation here and in another switch statement beccause the initiallization is local.

/*Data Initialization to Customers and Flights*/
	Customers *CustArray;
	CustArray=new Customers[150];//allocate 150 memory locations of class Customers  
	CustArray[0].addCustomers(1,8081423,"Lefteris", "Saint 1", 99888, 2);
int mochoice = 0;
int si;//
bool MOValid = false; // used for main menu
while (MOValid == false) 
{
	displayline();
	cout << "Airport Management System-Menu Options\n\n";
	displayline();
	cout<< "1.Insert flights\n";

	cout << "8.Return back\n";

	//user choice
	cin >> mochoice;

if ((mochoice<1)&&(mochoice>8))//if not in the range of the choices
{
	cout << "Please make your selection, chose a digit from 1-8"<<endl;
}
else
MOValid = true;
}//end while	

	// choice of the user
	switch (mochoice)
{
	case '1':
	//addflights();
	break;
    case 2:
    cout<<"Please enter Systems Customer ID"<<endl;
    cin>>si;
	for (int i=0; i<ncustomers_in_system;i++)
    {
	if (si==CustArray[i].id) //TO DO globally declare
	{
	CustArray[i].showCustomers(); //TO DO same declaration here
	}
	}
    break;
	//membershiptype();
	break;
	case '4':
	//flightcodedetails();
	break;

Eg: for global declaration

Customers *CustArray;  // global declaration

void initializeData()
{
 CustArray=new Customers[150];
 Flights *FL=new Flights[150];
}

// Rest of code

Try it.
