🙏🏻Help: Pointers, classes, Structs, arrays, file I/o, functions

Question

How to ask user to input file name, then read all the data from that file? And how to structure a file where the first line is the shoe store info, followed by five shoe types? The data have to be stored into arrays of class type objects. Thanks a bunch!

Answer 1

to get the filename, use something like cin >> filename
to read the file data you can use ifstream (google cpp ifstream)
as for structuring the file, you can try to create a class like so
class shoeinfo {
string storename;
string address;
void readinfo( ifstream f )
void writeinfo( ofstream f )
}
class shoetype
{
etc etc
}
when you write the file call the appropriate writeinfo routine,
ifstream f = ...etc
var_shoeinfo->writeinfo(f)
for (i=0; i < sizeof(array_shoetype); i++)
array_shoetype[i].writeinfo(f)
f->close()
