Question

[iBlueZ]

I have a question, i want to read every title books being read on the notepad and it reads everything. How can i read only the title of the book in the notepad.

-------------------------------Here is my code so far:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

	



	ifstream file;
	file.open("example.txt");
	file.eof();

	string a;
	string title;
	string author;
	string des;
	string b;
	string c;
	string d;
	int x;

	cout << "Type 1,2,3,4,5 to perform a search." << endl;
	cout << "1. Title" << endl;
	cout << endl;
	cin >> x;

	switch (x)
	{
	case 1:
		while (file){
			getline(file, title);
			cout << title << endl;
			
		}
		break;
	}
	cin.get();




	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

And my output came into this

Type 1,2,3,4,5 to perform a search.

case 1: {

Thanks alot also i have one more question, once the user enter the title of the book, how would i grab all the details of that book such as(author,description of the book,etc.)

[tanezavm]

string title_tosearch;

cout << "Enter a title of the book to search from file: ";
cin >> title_tosearch;

string index, title, author, desc, num1, num2, num3;

while (file) {
     //at every cycle, read all the 7 properties of a book.
     getline(file, index);
     getline(file, title);
     getline(file, author);
     getline(file, desc);
     getline(file, num1);
     getline(file, num2);
     getline(file, num3);

     //check if this particular book has title same with the title_tosearch value
     if (title_tosearch == title) {
           //Book found
           cout << "\nBook with title \"" << title_tosearch << "\" found from the file!" << endl;
           cout <<  "Below are the details of the book:" << endl;
           cout << "Book index: " << index << endl;
           cout << "Book title: " << title << endl;
           cout << "Book Author: " << author << endl;
           ...

    }

}
