My complete code is at pastebin.
There is a train database , and user enters train number to book a ticket.The function updt_tick should copy the values of train's name,source and destination into passenger's reservation object.
But the problem is that 5th character onwards are only being copied.
Here is the function's code sample.Train database is entered by user.
void updt_tick()
{
fstream f;
f.open("train.dat",ios::in | ios::binary);
while(f.read((char*)&t,sizeof(t)))
{
if (tno==t.tno)
{
strcpy(bp,t.source);
strcpy(dest,t.dest);
strcpy(tname,t.tname);
amt=SeatNum*t.PerSeatFare;
break;
}
}
f.close();
}
The train class is ->
class train
{
public:
int tno;
char tname[100];
char source[100];
char dest[100];
int PerSeatFare;
public:
void getdetail();
void showdetail();
}t;
The reserv class is -> `
class reserv
{
//Assume that cust select train according to his source and destination.
public:
int pnr;
int tno;
char tname[100];
char pnames[10][100];
int ages[10];
int SeatNum;
int i;
int d,m,y;
float amt;
char bp[100],dest[100];
void updt_tick()
{
fstream f;
f.open("train.dat",ios::in | ios::binary);
while(f.read((char*)&t,sizeof(t)))
{
if (tno==t.tno)
{
strcpy(bp,t.source);
strcpy(dest,t.dest);
strcpy(tname,t.tname);
amt=SeatNum*t.PerSeatFare;
break;
}
}
f.close();
}
public:
void getresdet()
{
cout<<"Enter the details as follows\n";
cout<<"Train no:";
cin>>tno;
cout<<"No of seats required:";
cin>>SeatNum;
cin.ignore();
for(i=0; i<SeatNum ; i++)
{
cout<<"Passenger name:";
gets(pnames[i]);
cout<<"Passenger age:";
cin>>ages[i];
cin.ignore();
}
cout<<"Date of travel:";
cin>>d>>m>>y;
cout<<"Details Accepted\n";
pnr=rand();
updt_tick();
}
void showresdet()
{
cout<<"Pnr no:"<<pnr;
cout<<"\nTrain no:"<<tno;
cout<<"\nTrain name:";
puts(tname);
cout<<"Boarding point:";
puts(bp);
cout<<"Destination pt:";
puts(dest);
cout<<"No of seats reserved:"<<SeatNum;
for(i=0; i<SeatNum; i++)
{
cout<<"Passenger name:";
puts(pnames[i]);
cout<<"Passenger age:"<<ages[i];
}
cout<<"\nDate of reservation:"<<d<<"-"<<m<<"-"<<y;
cout<<"\nYou must pay:"<<amt<<endl;
}
int getpnr()
{
return pnr;
}
};
Edit: There was nothing wrong with strcpy or any other code. I made the foolish mistake of giving the file name as "train.dat" instead of "trains.dat:.
