The file is comma delimited, so read the entire line and split it with a tokenizer.

if you share the code you have written so far, we'll be able to help you improve it or overcome the obstacles.

how to create the vector class

I assume you mean how to use the C++ built-in std::vector
example here:

#include "date.h"
#include "time.h"
#include "stock.h"
#include "Vector.h"
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::cin;

int main()
{
date date;
time24 time;
double price;
double volume;
double value;
double max=0;
string condition;
char menu = ' ';

ifstream in;
ofstream out;

in.open("Course_of_sales.txt");
out.open("bbb.txt");

out<< fixed << showpoint;
cout << "Processing Data" << endl;
do {
cout << "The Menu Options available are as follows - "
"\n1: Date, highest price and Start time(s) of the highest share price"
"\n2: Date, Lowest price, Start time(s) of the lowest share price"
"\n3: output.csv"
"\n4: Exit the program"
"\n\nEnter option: ";
cin >> menu;
cout << endl;

switch (menu)
{
case '1':
cout<<"Date:"<<date<<endl;
cout<<"Highest Price:"<<priceMAX<<endl;
cout<<"Start time(s):"<<endl<<time<<endl;
break;
case '2':
cout<<"Date:"<<date<<endl;
cout<<"Lowest Price:"<<priceMIN<<endl;
cout<<"Start time(s):"<<endl<<time<<endl;
break;

case'3':
break;

case'4':
cout << "Exit, thank you" << endl;
break;

default:
cout << "Sorry, invalid option" << endl;
}
}
while (menu != '4');


in>>date>>time>>price>>volume>>value>>condition;

while (!in.eof())
{
if(price>max)
price=max;
}

in.close();
out.close();



system("PAUSE");
return 0;
};



sorry my main is really messy, i havent do the priceMAX and priceMIN
i dont have any idea how to print read the csv and print the highest price with this format
Menu option 1:
Date:<the transaction date>
Highest price:<the highest price>
Start time(s):
<time when the highest price occured>

how to search the highest price and show the start time and date, do i need to make an array?
