Hello.

1.  put the line:   "cin.ignore(1024, '\n');"  before any cin.getline().
Also, replace every
     "fflush(stdin)" with the above statement.

2.  At the line of the problem (with getline), you read a string and then
parse it to find a number
     (by atoi). Why don't you use operator >>  ?

     cin.ignore(1024, '\n');
     if ( !(cin >> number) )
     {
           cerr << "failed to read number" << endl;
           HandleError();
     }

     In this approach you don't need to test  isitNumber. it is done for
you by cin

3.  Why don't you use ofstream and ifstream for file I/O ?. The mix between
stdio and iostream
     looks unnatural.

     The syntax of ofstream and ifstram is simple, and identical to
cin/cout.


4.  Good Luck
