So my searchdata function are supposed to be a simple if else statement to display data on which the user choose to see. But somehow the value did not show on the screen.
It only print

no value. pls help me

In your searchdata function, you create lots of empty strings. You never fill them, You never put any data in the strings. That's why the output is blank. Because you have empty strings.
else if (answer1 == "item unitin|item unit in")Pretty sure this does not even remotely do what you want.
Even if I already input the value in the main function ? So how do I read the existing data from inside the text file ?
| Even if I already input the value in the main function ? |
If you create a variable in one function, and then create another variable with the same name in a different function, they're different variables. Putting some data into one of them doesn't do anything to the other.

You need to learn about:
functions
passing parameters to functions
reading from files
You're not ready yet for what you're trying to do; you need to learn about variables and functions first, before you start writing them.

yeah I just started learning about the language for like a month since. I guess I still have a lot to do so btw thanks for helping and I'll be sure to learn more
