Message: [QUOTE="Charles Wilson, post: 5021095"] I believe that my problem is in how I am doing my C++ strings. But I am not sure. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thank you #include <iomanip> #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <cstring> using namespace std; int main() { struct{int chronum;string pname;int next;}//makes structure box with C ++ style string plist[50],temp;//give the number of colmns int n=0,end,maxindex,i; ifstream fin; ofstream fout; fin.open("pres.dat"); fout.open("hw7.dat"); fin>>plist[n].pname;//inputs president name into list while(!fin.eof()) { plist[n].chronum=n+1;//assigns chronum to presidents as inputed. n++;//tracks current president fin>>plist[n].pname; } for(end=n-1;end>0;end--)//it seems to input all on the first past and than removes one of end each time. { maxindex=0; for(i=1;i<=end;i++) if(plist[i].pname>plist[maxindex].pname) maxindex=i; temp=plist[maxindex]; plist[maxindex]=plist[end]; plist[end]=temp; } //cout.setf(ios::fixed); //cout.setf(ios::showpoint); //cout.precision(2); //cout<<plist[i].chronum<<plist[i].pname<<endl; return 0; }[/i][/i][/i] [/QUOTE]
