I am writing a program to keep track of a bookstore inventory (beginning code). One of the functions of this program is that it can print out the whole inventory in a more or less formatted output. I've gotten it to print out the contents with no spaces or whitespace.

I have the file reading into an array initialized as a struct:

```
struct Book //declare struct
{

int ISBN; //ISBN within struct

std::string Title; //Title within struct

std::string Author; //Author within struct

std::string Publisher; // Publisher within struct

int Quantity; //Quantity within struct

double Price; //price within struct

};

```

The contents of the .txt file get read into each memory allocation as their particular data type and then each of these gets printed out. 

```
                                        /* READ CONTENTS OF INVENTORY*/

string readInventory(ifstream &readFile) //define readInventory, pass it a refrence to an infile
{
    const int ARRAY_size = 100;

string_book read_out_inventory[ARRAY_size];

ifstream inFile;

string stub = "\n\n***** COMPLETED: files read ******\n\n";
string buffer = " ";

inFile.open("inventory.txt");

if (!inFile.eof())
{
    for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_size; ++i)
    {
        inFile >> read_out_inventory[i].ISBN;
        inFile >> read_out_inventory[i].Title;
        inFile >> read_out_inventory[i].Author;
        inFile >> read_out_inventory[i].Publisher;
        inFile >> read_out_inventory[i].Quantity;
        inFile >> read_out_inventory[i].Price;

    }
}

cout << setw(43) <<"The books are: \n\n" ;

for (int ARRAY_read = 0; ARRAY_read < ARRAY_size; ARRAY_read++)
{

    cout << &read_out_inventory[ARRAY_read].ISBN << endl;
    cout << &read_out_inventory[ARRAY_read].Title << endl;
    cout << &read_out_inventory[ARRAY_read].Author << endl;
    cout << &read_out_inventory[ARRAY_read].Publisher << endl;
    cout << &read_out_inventory[ARRAY_read].Quantity << endl;
    cout << &read_out_inventory[ARRAY_read].Price << endl;

}

return stub;

```

}

The problem I'm running into (amidst other obvious ones) is that the output is :

```
0x7fff5fbfe250
0x7fff5fbfe268
0x7fff5fbfe280
0x7fff5fbfe288
0x7fff5fbfe290
0x7fff5fbfe298
0x7fff5fbfe2b0
0x7fff5fbfe2c8
0x7fff5fbfe2e0
0x7fff5fbfe2e8
0x7fff5fbfe2f0
0x7fff5fbfe2f8
0x7fff5fbfe310
0x7fff5fbfe328
0x7fff5fbfe340
0x7fff5fbfe348
0x7fff5fbfe350
0x7fff5fbfe358
0x7fff5fbfe370
0x7fff5fbfe388
0x7fff5fbfe3a0
0x7fff5fbfe3a8
0x7fff5fbfe3b0
0x7fff5fbfe3b8
0x7fff5fbfe3d0
0x7fff5fbfe3e8
0x7fff5fbfe400
0x7fff5fbfe408
0x7fff5fbfe410
...

```

I'm not even fully sure what my problem is so help would be greatly appreciated. I saw this question had been answered in another place but I didn't fully understand.

The .txt file looks like this:
