Reading txt file and creating an Struct with Arrays

[KrazyKarlHD]

Im given information about a person ID, Name, and Address in a text file for example like this:

123543
Joe, Shomoe
36 Jon Havey Court, Middle, MO 66222

no more than 20 people in the given txt file.

Some requirements:
1.each person should take one structure, and should be defined as to hold name, ID, and address

2.print the information of all people according to ID # in ascending order.

3.Ask a user if additional person to add. if so new person is added to the same format as in the given txt file.

4. Search a person by the last name. Prints out the info immediately.

I know im missing some of the requirements but im having trouble setting compiling the current code i have right now.

Any help is appreciated.

Compiler is: Microsoft Visual Studio

 #include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

struct Personalinfo  //Structure for the information: ID, Name, and Address
{
	int ID; //ID number
	char name[25]; //Name of person: Last_name,First_name
	char addr[60]; //Address info for person

};


int main()
{
	string line;
	ifstream t1("a1.txt");
	{
		if (t1.is_open())//opens and reads the information from the file to display
		{
			while (!t1.eof())
			{
				getline(t1, line); //gets information from the text file
				cout << line << endl;
			}

			t1.close();
		}
		else cout << "Can't open file";
	}

	string input;
	cout << "Would you like to enter another person to the database? Yes or No" << endl;
	cin >> input;

	if (input.compare("Yes"))
	{

		cout << "Plese enter ID:" << endl;
		getline(cin, input);
		ofstream t1("t1.txt");
		t1 << input << endl;
		cout << "Please enter name: Lastname,Firstname" << endl;
		getline(cin, input);
		//ofstream t1("t1.txt");
		t1 << input << endl;
		cout << "Please enter address: " << endl;
		getline(cin, input);
		//ofstream t1("t1.txt");
		t1 << input << endl;

	}

	else
	{
		cout << "End user input\n";
	}


	return 0;
}

What kind of trouble? Can you compile? If no, post the errors.

it was a simple fix, however the last part of adding more people to the database is completely skipped, and i cant seem to understand why

You should empty the responsible buffer to get rid of any stray newline character.
Use std::cin.ignore(); to simply 'skip' newline characters. Insert iit just before asking the user for input.

Line 40 is wrong. string::compare() returns non-zero if the strings are NOT equal. It returns zero if the strings are equal.
