For Statement not adding new text, but replacing text from earlier.

mattBloom (2)
I am trying to make it so the program lists the next employee as a new output table of information, but instead, it is replacing the output table from the first employee. Any help is appreciated.

PLEASE learn to use code tags, they make reading and commenting on source code MUCH easier.

HINT: you can edit your post and add code tags.

You are repeatedly adding new data to a regular variable instead of an array or vector.

You are not dealing with a fixed number of employees so using a dynamic container is what you need. A std::vector works.

A regular array could work but you'd have to declare a large enough size at compile-time to make sure it is large enough to hold the data for a variable number of employees.

Thank you, also that was my first post clearly, thanks for teaching me about code tags.
