Somebody Please Please Please Help me with this... I have done a lot of the work just need to get everything in the correct spot. We CAN NOT use Strings!!!!!

The Items Description MUST BE read into a Char array... I am assuming with getline().

Instead of opening and closing the input file for each requested item, open the stock.txt file, READ ALL THE VALUES FOR THE 9 STOCK ITEMS INTO THREE PARALLEL ARRAYS, then close the input file. When the user gives you a stock number you should search the arrays for the match and the corresponding description and price.

Use a file called Stock.txt that contains information regarding the 9 different stock items carried by DOLLAR SAVER INCORPORATED. The file is a repeating sequence of three records such that the first record represents an item code number, the second record represents the description of each item and the third record contains the current selling price. Then the sequence repeats. Your program is to simulate the checkout register allowing the check out clerk to input item codes to obtain the current selling prices and descriptions. If an incorrect code is entered, the clerk should be notified by an appropriate message on the screen. If the item is found, the clerk will enter the number of items with that description and price and continue to the next item. When all items have been entered the clerk terminates the transaction by entering an item code of 0 (zero). The program will build a sales slip called Sales.txt enumerating the item code, description, unit price, quantity purchased, and total extended price. The bill will be subtotaled and an 8% sales tax added for a final total. Amount tendered by the customer and change given will be finally added to the invoice. This invoice should be written out to an output file called Sales.txt. The final total and change should appear on the screen as well. Your output file should line up all columns and output formatted for dollars and cents on money amounts, using setprecision, showpoint, and fixed. Make sure you format your output to the screen as well. This assignment uses file processing found in chapter 5 and arrays found in chapter 7 of Starting Out With C++.

I just can't grasp this to figure out what I am doing wrong. Any and all help is greatly appreciated and if you can help me figure it out I will review you to fullest extent possible.

Thank You in Advance.

Input file:

stock.txt
