Phone Number List

I have the program mostly completetd below but I want to display a message stating that "No entries were found" if a search comes up empty. I am stuck on this portion of the assignment as the "No entries found" message appears when information is found in the array. Works fine when no information is found in the array.

#include #include #include #include using namespace std;

int main() {

const int SIZE = 12; const int LENGTH = 30; char contacts [SIZE][LENGTH] = { "Renee Javens, 678-1223", "Joe Looney, 586-0097", "Geri Palmer, 223-8787", "Lynn Presnell, 887-1212", "Bill Wolfe, 223-8878", "Same Wiggins, 486-0998", "Bob Kain, 586-8712", "Tim Haynes, 586-7676", "John Johnson, 2223-9037", "Jean James, 678-4939", "Ron Palmer, 486-2783" }; char search[LENGTH]; char *strPtr = nullptr; int index; char repeat;

do { cout << "Please enter a name to search for contact information. " << endl; cin.getline(search, LENGTH);

/***** Stuck here the program displays the right information when searching "Pal" but also displays the no results message. No results message displays fine when no results are found********/ for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++) { strPtr = strstr(contacts[index], search); if (strPtr != nullptr) cout << contacts[index] << endl; }

if (strPtr == nullptr)

cout << "No information matches the search criteria. " << endl; // Ask user to repeat program cout << "Would you like to search again? Y/N? " << endl; cin >> repeat; cin.getline(search, LENGTH);

} while (repeat == 'Y' || repeat == 'y');

system("pause"); return 0; }
