Basically the program is a database of student enrollments.
I cannot get the the search delete/undelete and update functions to work and need help asap. Need to implement a bool field to the delete / undelete
Please help
Re: C++ search, delete/undelete, update functions
First, indent your code properly. This will make your code more readable, helping you to trace the flow of control through your program.
Then, you should tell us exactly how do the functions fail to work.

If you wrote the program, then you had some sort of logic in mind to get the program to work. If that logic fails, then it's your job to debug your code using the debugger, and seeing where the flow of the program fails to follow the logic you had in mind. Then you fix the code so that the logic follows your original plans.
The bottom line is that you have to put the effort in debugging your own code -- if something doesn't work, then identify for yourself exactly what is not working. If you have done that and you still are having trouble, then tell us what line of code, what library function, etc. is doing something that you didn't expect. Posting code verbatim and basically asking "go debug this for me" isn't (or shouldn't be) the way it's done here.
Having said that, one thing that doesn't make sense:
Code:
MyFile.open( FILE_PATH, ios :: binary | ios :: out );
How can you update a record if you erase the file? Opening a file for output erases the original file. If you debugged your code, you would see that this will not work. From there, you would then go to your book and see how to open a file for r/w access, and change the code accordingly.

Your code does not compile. So how could do something like

Re: C++ search, delete/undelete, update functions
Try now it should compile
