I have been working on a program that accepts the following data and
writes it to a sequential output file:

Student Name            Course                     Grade

Jim West               Eng. 101                      A
Jane East              Mat. 301                      B
John South             Bio. 401                      C
etc...

the program then reads the file and creates a student grade report on
to the screen.

Does anyone know how I can format the display to only have the header
once? Now I get:

Student Name          Course                     Grade
Jim West              Eng. 101                      A

Student Name          Course                     Grade
Jane East             Mat. 301                     B
etc...

Also, is there an easy way to line the columns up? Now I'm using the
setw(); function and it sort of seems to be hit and miss.

One last question, How do you get the cout and cin operators to accept
white spaces like in Eng_101? or both first and last names within one
string?

Here is a copy of my code so far;


#include <fstream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>

 class Student
 {
  protected:

  char fname[15];
  char lname[15];
  char course[40];
  char grade;


 public:

  void getStudent(void)
  {
   cout << " First Name: ";
   cin >> fname;
   cout << " Last Name: ";
   cin >> lname;
   cout << "Enter Course Taken: ";
   cin >> course;
   cout << "Enter Grade Earned: ";
   cin >> grade;

  }

  void showStudents()
    {
 cout << endl <<" Student Name           Course           Grade " <<
endl;
 cout << setw(8)<< lname << setw(10)<< fname << setw(10)<<
course << setw(10) << grade << endl;
    }

  };

  void main(void)
   {
   Student s1;
   fstream file;
   char yn;

   ofstream outfile("student.dat", ios::binary);
   file.open("student.dat", ios::app | ios::out | ios::in |
ios::binary );

   do
   {
   cout << "\nEnter the Students Information:" <<
endl;
   s1.getStudent();

   file.write( (char*)&s1, sizeof(s1) );
   cout << "\nDo You Wish to Enter Another Student
(Y/N)? ";
   cin >> yn;
   }

   while (yn=='y');
   file.seekg(0);
   file.read( (char*)&s1, sizeof(s1) );

   while( !file.eof() )
    {
    s1.showStudents();
    file.read( (char*)&s1, sizeof(s1) );

    }

     }
