C/C++ :: File String Replace Algorithm?

Nov 10, 2014

I adapted the code from the following: [URL]

To replace a string in my file with another. The file contents look like the following:

abc 123 0

"abc"= The username
"123"= Their password
"0"= The amount in their bank

I want to change their bank amount.

But, it isn't working, nor is it even giving me an error code.

// When the user logs out, make changes to their bank
string strNew = std::to_string(player.bank); // String representation of the revised player bank
ifstream filein("user_accounts.txt"); // Old repository of player data
ofstream fileout("user_accounts_new"); // New repository of player data

[Code].....

I'm having a bit of problem. I've set the string 'Absent' to all student in a file. However, I want to replace 'Absent' with 'present' when the correct ID assigned to a student is entered. In other words, 'Absent' will only change to 'Present' for a specific person at a time. I'm not sure how to implement this

C++ :: Replace Some Elements In Text File?

Nov 4, 2014

I have a text file, like that:

(A1*
*
*
*A1)
*
(AM-MNR*AM-MNR)
(V*V)
(C-A1*
*
*
*
C-A1)

Now, I would like to replace some elements, follow the rule:

-(A1* ---> B- A1
- characters "*" following is replace by I-A1
- *A1) ---> I- A1

The output like that:

B- A1
I- A1
I- A1
I- A1
*
B-AM-MNR
(V*V)
B-C-A1
I-C-A1
I-C-A1
I-C-A1
I-C-A1

How can I do now?

My text file have 220 663 lines and 858 995 characters (I used Linux commands : wc to count them. If I use array to store data, I think it's too large array. But if use fstream, I dont know to access each element in stream to compare and replace. I dont know How many labels such as: A1, C- A1, AM- MNR... which I have to replace.

Visual C++ :: Put A Message String Through Algorithm / Cryptography?

May 31, 2013

I'm looking for a resource (possibly CPP) for which I could do the following on a windows and linux machine:

1) type a string message into a GUI control (or some other input that can be accessed by the resource).

2) run a resource script that puts the message through a hash function (or a custom hash function) and outputs the hash string.

3) have a reverse function available in order to decrypt the message in an input fashion just like step #1.

what open-source resource might be the best for this? Right now I am imagining typing a message into a text file, saving the file to a hard drive location, running a script on it replacing the old file with a new file that just has a hash string in it, then using that hash string for the encoded message.

C/C++ :: Sorting Algorithm Program - Split Given String On Commas

Feb 21, 2014

I'm currently trying to code a sorting algorithm program.

let's asume I have a string given: aa, aaa, bbb, bas, zya!

I first of all want to split the given string on commas and '!' tells the program the string ends here and is no part of the last word. lower and upper case is not important at the moment. trying to implement everything with standard libary

output should be like that ofc:
aa
aaa
bas
bbb
zya

I already looked into the bubble sort algorithm and I think it benefits my needs. Just wanted to know how I should start out with the string split.

C :: Replace Tabs With Spaces

Jul 14, 2013

Basically, the task is to replace tabs with spaces, ensuring that the number of spaces is appropriate to get you to the next tab stop (i.e. if you were only 4 spaces away from a tab stop, don't replace the tab with 8 spaces).i've seen have included character arrays, and many have included multiple functions. I realize the text says "these exercises suggest programs of somewhat greater complexity than the ones earlie in this chapter," but it seemed like a very straightfortward task.Have i oversimplified or something?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#define TAB_STOP 8
int main()

int c, i;

C++ :: Replace 2nd Occurrence Of Letter?

Apr 27, 2013

i`m currently racking my brains out over this issue. How do i go about the x as the first occurrence of the letter?

lets say helxo , x is the 2nd occurrence of l. I will want to change back x into l

i have replaced it with x in the earlier step with this code...

string everySecondChar(const string &s,char source,char distance)
{
string t(s);
for(std::string::size_type even =0,pos=t.find(source,0);pos!=std::string::npos;pos=t.find(source,++pos))
{

[Code]....

i would like to reverse the process now, letting x becoming l again!

C++ :: How To Replace 2nd Occurrence Of A Letter With X

Apr 21, 2013

Supposed i have a word hammer.

how am i suppose to search for the 2nd occurrence of the letter and then replace it with x?

example hammer will become hamxer

I thought about using replace for it, however i`m lost on how to find 2 occurrences of the same letter in the word.

string formatEncrypt(string message) {
int msgLength=message.length();
for(int i=0;i<msgLength;i++) {
if(message[i] == 'j' {
message[i]='i';

[Code] .....

at line 31 i tried to put a z into the alphabet that occurs twice.

this is what i have done so far

example: hello world

It will turn out as helzlo world

However i want to make the output appear as helzo world
