Hi i could not specific Record from my binary file. This is the method to list out all records.
int student :: showall(fstream &fp)
{
student rec;
fp.seekg(0,ios::beg);
int i=0;
cout<<"Position\tRoll No\t\tName\tBalance"<<endl;
while(fp.read((char*)&rec,sizeof rec))
{
cout<<i*sizeof rec<<"\t";
rec.show();
i++;
}
}
While running this i got the below output
Position Roll No Name Balance
0 1 Heartly 10
28 2 Heartly 20
56 3 Heartly 30
84 4 Heartly 40
112 5 Heartly 50
140 6 Heartly 60
168 7 Heartly 70
196 8 Heartly 80
224 9 Heartly 90
252 10 Heartly 100
Now i want to search specific record. I gave RecNo 5 to search. This is my View method
int student :: view(fstream &fp,int RecNum)
{
student rec;
std::ios::pos_type SearchPosition = RecNum*sizeof rec;
cout<<endl<<"Position="<<SearchPosition<<endl;
if( fp.seekg(SearchPosition) == 0 )
{
cout<<endl<<"Position="<<SearchPosition<<endl;
if(fp.read((char*)&rec,sizeof rec))
rec.show();
else
cout<<endl<<"Read Error .. ! "<<endl;
}
else
{
cout<<endl<<"Record Number Not Found"<<endl;
}
}
After running this method , i got below result.
Record number (-1 Cancels):
5Position=140
Record Number Not Found
Why it is not locating the specific Record?
I also given below my coding of calling the method
printf("\nMenu : AddDummy, Add, View, Edit, List or Quit ( U, A, V, E, L or Q) : ");
switch(toupper(getchar()))
{
case 'U' :
file.open("abc.cli",ios::in|ios::out|ios::binary|ios::app);
cout<<"Creating dummy file of 1000 entries"<<endl;
record.adddummy(file);
file.clear();
break;
case 'A' :
file.open("abc.cli",ios::in|ios::out|ios::binary|ios::app);
record.get();
record.add(record,file);
cout<<"Record Added"<<endl;
file.clear();
break;
case 'E' :
file.open("abc.cli",ios::in|ios::out|ios::binary|ios::ate);
cout<<endl<<"Record number (-1 Cancels): "<<endl;
cin>>Rec;
if (Rec > -1)
{
record.get();
if(!record.update(record,file,Rec))
cout<<"Record Edited"<<endl;
else
cout<<"Record Edited Failed"<<endl;
file.clear();
}
break;
case 'V' :
file.open("abc.cli",ios::in|ios::out|ios::binary|ios::ate);
cout<<endl<<"Record number (-1 Cancels): "<<endl;
cin>>Rec;
if (Rec > -1)
record.view(file,Rec);
file.clear();
break;
case 'L' :
file.open("abc.cli",ios::in|ios::out|ios::binary|ios::ate);
record.showall(file);
file.clear();
break;
case 'Q' :
file.close();
return 0;
default :
cout<<" \nNot Matching\n ";
}while(getchar() != '\n');
Why its not reading the specific Record?
