Code to Search book by its author from 1st record to last

See more:C++Sortingsearchstrings
Hey everyone! i stuck here with a thing. I use this code in visual c++ to search a book by its author. I have used the approach of bubble sorting then binary searching.

Alright, now this is what i have. what i want to do now is to search a particular BOOK by its author without using the bubble sorting or binary searching method and instead search all the records one at a time, from start till the end for its author. I think the improved approach will make the coding a lot shorter than it is now

using namespace std;

class BOOK
{
public:
char ID[6];
char Content[50];
char AUTHOR[20];
char Book[20];
}

void Copy(BOOK hd){ // this function copies whole record
strcpy(ID,(hd.ID)); //copy BOOK ki id
strcpy(AUTHOR,(hd.AUTHOR)); // copy BOOK ka AUTHOR
strcpy(Book,(hd.Book));
strcpy(Content,(hd.Content));
}

void SwapBOOK(BOOK &bk1, BOOK &bk2){ //swaps position of BOOK1 with BOOK2

BOOK Temp;

Temp.Copy(bk1); //BOOK1 ko temp main copy kiya
bk1.Copy(bk2); //BOOK2 ko BOOK1 main copy kiya (now BOOK2 has moved to the place of BOOK1)
bk2.Copy(Temp); //BOOK1 ko finalyy BOOK2 ki jaga per copy ker diya

The problem is that I have got to do this myself. My boss asks for atleast the file handling code till coming monday. Where as i have to submit the whole task ,on visual c++, by the end of next week! I already have copied most of my records on a text file sir. And now i really want to do it that way! Only if you could help me with this please?

Sir, do you think that this is the best format for turning these records to arrays and searching from them?

No i did not. I am not very familiar with Visual C++. I work in a library and have been given this task. My friend suggested me to copy all the records to a text file. He said with c++ we can search data in text file very easily. I am trying to find a solution on the internet, although there has been no luck.
