I\'m trying to create a code that will parse through a csv database with stock information. Currently, I have the code generated so that it will search with a keyword and pr

Here it is your solution (the most close to what you requested):

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

typedef std::vector record;

std::istream&
operator>>(
  std::istream& is,
  record&       r)
{
  r.clear();

  string line;
  getline(is, line);

  istringstream iss(line);
  string field;

  while (getline(iss, field, ',' ))
    r.push_back(field);

  return is;
}

int
main()
{

  ifstream file("Stock Database.csv");
  record headers, r;

  if (file.good())
    file >> headers;

  while (file >> r)
  {
    for (int i = 0; i < r.size(); i++)
      cout << headers[i] <<  ":\t" << r[i] << endl;

    cout << "------------------------------" << endl;
  }

  return 0;
}

// EOF

The content of the "Stock Database.csv" file is:

Symbol,Name,Price,High Today,Low Today,52 Week Low
GOOG,Google Inc.,$568.77 ,$570.25 ,$560.35
AAPL,Apple Inc.,$93.28 ,$63.89 ,$99.44

Just do with the record whatever you want. The first read from the file suppose to bring you headers. Every next read fill each record with csv values.
