I have a problem when creating the Personal Finance Software in my group. It's part of my group's assignment.
The EnterExpense() function only creates one line instead of many (if the user wants to continue entering more info).
The ViewInfo() function can read the file, but cannot load the text from the expense.txt file (download the given attachment below and try to run it).
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <Windows.h>
using namespace std;
// Declaration of file stream variables
ifstream infile; // Input file stream variable
ofstream outfile; // Output file stream variable
char cont; // Asks the user to continue entering the information
int i = 0; // Counter
double total = 0.00; // Total expense for a month period
double y_total = 0.00; // Total expense for a year period
void EnterExpense()
{
int day; // Day of the month
string category; // Item category
string desc; // Item description
double amount; // Price amount of an item
system("cls");
do
{
cout << "Enter the day of the month: ";

cout << "Enter the item category: ";

outfile.close();
