I've been assigned by school to create an application that contains a book list with 20 different books in it and build a menu with following options:
(a) List – Display the list in tabular format. Each display should contain an appropriate heading and column captions;
(b) Search – Search for a book record in the list using the ISBN and print the full record for the book;
(c) Delete – Delete an existing book record from the list;
(d) Exit – Stop the program.
Here is the sample of my program:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
typedef struct
{
char code[50];
char author[50];

char edition[50];
char publish[50];
char price[50];
} BOOK_LIST;
void list (BOOK_LIST book[], int rows);
void showBook (BOOK_LIST book[], int rows);
void updateRecord (BOOK_LIST book[], int rows);
void advancedSearch (BOOK_LIST book[], int rows);
int deleteBook (BOOK_LIST book[], int rows);
int searchBook(BOOK_LIST book[], int rows);
int main()
{
ifstream inFile("list.txt");
if(!inFile)
cout << "Error opening input file\n";
else
{
BOOK_LIST books[50];
int index = -1, choice;
inFile.getline(books[++index].code, 50);
while(inFile)
{
if(inFile.peek() == '\n')
inFile.ignore(256, '\n');
inFile.getline(books[index].author, 50);
inFile.getline(books[index].name, 50);
inFile.getline(books[index].edition, 50);
inFile.getline(books[index].publish, 50);
inFile >> books[index].price;
// read next number
inFile >> books[++index].code;
}
inFile.close();
// menu starts

The problem starts here: When I want to permanently delete a whole row of book record. But the book record is still there after deleting.
First, this is my menu, then I press 1 to check the list for the IBSN. Then, I press 3 to proceed to the deleting part. At that time, I choose TheHost to delete. After the deleting, to ensure that I have deleted the chosen book, so I press 1 to check the list again, but unfortunately the book is still there. Please take a look at my menu *I don't have much reputation that what I can do to let you know my problem, please let me know if my question is uncleared.
If I am able to delete a book record, and how do I delete a record permanently? And after deleting a record, how do I move the remaining records upwards, so that it won't leave any empty row there?
The function for the deleting:
void updateRecord(BOOK_LIST book[], int rows)
{
int pos = deleteBook(book, rows);
char code [50];
int i,j = 0;
for(i = 0; i < rows ; i++)
{
if(strcmp(code, book[i].code))
{
strcpy(book[j].code , book[i].code);
strcpy(book[j].author, book[i].author);
strcpy(book[j].name, book[i].name);
strcpy(book[j].edition, book[i].edition);
strcpy(book[j].publish, book[i].publish);
strcpy(book[j].price, book[i].price);
j++;
}//if
else
{
i++;
strcpy(book[j].code, book[i].code);
strcpy(book[j].author, book[i].author);
strcpy(book[j].name, book[i].name);
strcpy(book[j].edition, book[i].edition);
strcpy(book[j].publish, book[i].publish);
strcpy(book[j].price, book[i].price);
j++;
}//else
}//for
return;
}
