How to read user input into a struct and add to a csv file?

[Laura Wilkinson]

Hi all,

I am trying to use the variables I have in the struct to store user input about a car.

struct CarC
{
	string carRegistration;
	string carOwner;
	string carOwnerAddress;
	string carManufacturer;
	string carModel;
	unsigned numCarDoors;
	unsigned numCarSeats;
	string carType;
	string carInformation;
};

I have attempted this below, but I am not sure if what I am trying to do is possible. After the information is inputted by the user and stored, it needs to add to a csv file.

My attempt;

int vehicleOption = 0;
    cout << "Automated Number Plate Identification System\n\n";
	cout << "Select an Option\n\n";
	cout << "1 = Car\n2 = Bus\n3 = Motorbike\n4 = Lorry\n";
	cout << "Your Option: ";
	cin >> vehicleOption;

	if(vehicleOption==1)
	{
		int loop = 0;
		int eloop = 9;
		filestr.open ("Vehicles.csv", fstream::in | fstream::out | fstream::app);
		if(loop!=eloop)

		cout << "Car Registration: "; cin >> carRegistration;
		cout << "Car Owner: "; cin >> carOwner;
		cout << "Owner Address: "; cin >> carOwnerAddress;
		cout << "Car Manufacturer: "; cin >> carManufacturer;
		cout << "Car Model: "; cin >> carModel;
		cout << "Number of Car Doors: "; cin >> numCarDoors;
		cout << "Number of Car Seats: "; cin >> numCarSeats;
		cout << "Car Type: "; cin >> carType;
		cout << "Other Information: "; cin >> carInformation;

        filestr<<" "<<carRegistration<<" "<<carOwner<<" "<<carOwnerAddress<<" "<<carManufacturer<<" "<<carModel<<" "<<numCarDoors<<" "<<numCarSeats<<" "<<carType<<" "<<carInformation<<endl;
	}

Any advice/help would be appreciate..

Thanks in advance!

No worries, I have figured it out now!!

if(vehicleOption==1)
	{	
		fstream filestr;

		struct CarC car;

		int loop = 0;
		int eloop = 9;
		filestr.open ("Vehicles.csv", fstream::in | fstream::out | fstream::app);
		if(loop!=eloop)

		cout << "\nCar Registration: "; cin >> car.carRegistration;
		cout << "\nCar Owner: "; cin >> car.carOwner;
		cout << "\nOwner Address: "; cin >> car.carOwnerAddress;
		cout << "\nCar Manufacturer: "; cin >> car.carManufacturer;
		cout << "\nCar Model: "; cin >> car.carModel;
		cout << "\nNumber of Car Doors: "; cin >> car.numCarDoors;
		cout << "\nNumber of Car Seats: "; cin >> car.numCarSeats;
		cout << "\nCar Type: "; cin >> car.carType;
		cout << "\nOther Information: "; cin >> car.carInformation;

        filestr<<", "<<car.carRegistration<<", "<<car.carOwner<<", "<<car.carOwnerAddress<<", "<<car.carManufacturer<<", "<<car.carModel<<", "<<car.numCarDoors<<", "<<car.numCarSeats<<", "<<car.carType<<", "<<car.carInformation<<endl;
