ok, this is programing help, but afaik we don't have a programing section

I am stuck on a particular function of a program I am working on.

"void searchRecords()
This void function should prompt the user for search text, then open C:\PhoneBook.txt for input, read all records in the file,
and display all lines that contain the search text. Display a count of the records that matched the search text. Display a
different message if zero, one, or more matches are found."

an example line in phonebook.txt would be

allen 407566432

any ideas? I know I need to use string.find function to do it, just not sure how.

Gimme a sec here, I think I have something like it somewhere....

does this look right?

void searchrecords()
{
ifstream indata;
string rec, line1;
int match;

cout << "Please enter the item to search for: ";

cin >> rec;

indata.open("phonebook.txt");

while (!indata.eof())
{
getline(indata, line1);

if (line1.find(rec) != string ::npos)
{
match++;
cout << line1 << endl;
}
}

if(match == 0)
cout << "0 matches found." << endl;

if(match == 1)
cout << "1 match found." << endl;

if(match >= 1)

cout << match << " matches found." << endl;

indata.close("phonebook.txt");

}
