C++ :: Finding Number Of Lines Between Two Specified Characters

Feb 3, 2014

I am looking for a way to correctly count the lines between two specified characters/strings in a file. Here's the part I need work on:

getline( file, lines );
do {
if(lines.find("character")
{
++counter;
}
} while( !lines.find("story") );

I want the code to search for the first occurence of the word "character," and start counting the lines from that line until it hit the first occurrence of the word "story."

Right now, I am only getting a counter value of 1.

C/C++ :: Reading Lines Of Numbers / Characters While Checking For EOF?

Aug 30, 2014

Simple program to convert files to XML files. However I am trying to narrow down why my code is not working. I am reading a line that looks like "2001 Joe Dirt Los Angeles", then the next few lines are followed by text and the the fifth line looks like "---End of Description---".

So here is the file

2001 Joe Dirt Los Angeles
Home is where you make it
Best movie ever(but not really)
But seriously
---End of Description---

Here is example code to test the process

string line;
while(dataFile >> line) {
getline(dataFile, line);
cout << line << endl;
}

My returning output is

[space]Joe Dirt Los Angeles
[space]Home is where you make it
[space]Best movie ever(but not really)
[space]But seriously

My test code is skipping the date on the first line but replacing it with a space. Then it is skipping my fifth line which reads "---End of Description---". Now if I take the code out of the while loop and hard code in five lines of output (x5 getline(dataFile,line); cout << line << endl;) then my code works as expected. I get all of the information. Date and the fifth line.

It looks like when I am testing for the EOF it is also taking in the numeric value at the beginning of the first line. However, that does not explain why it is dropping that fifth line.

Visual C++ :: Looping Lines And Blocks Of Characters

Mar 17, 2013

I have a file that is like the following, with patterns of pipes in it:

Code:
||| || | |
| ||| | | |
|| || ||

I have to consider each row of pipe characters to be in blocks of 3 characters each (e.g. - positions 1-3, then 4-6, etc, etc...) but I have to capture all of the pipes, in sequence, like so:

positions 1-3 for lines 1-3, then positions 4-6 for lines 1-3, etc, etc...

How to get this done besides writing severely redundant control structures like loops, one after the other?

C :: Working With File And Counting Characters / Words And Lines

Dec 17, 2013

I have to write a program (on linux) which will count character, words and lines like wc linux command. I'm trying to write this for last 3 days... First part of app I did and it works fine - command line options to choose. Then I've got a function read_file which I have to use to read a file. One of the options is to get the file name from user and if user will not type any name then the standard file is ubuntu dict file /usr/share/dict/words, this is not working as well...

Counting characters and lines is working fine but because I don't know how to get text from read_file wrote code to read file interior this functions. Words counting is working partly - everything is fine until there are two or more spaces, tabs one after another then counts extra words. Finally I need child processes in words and lines counting functions. Parent process should waits for all childs to finish and should be pipes to submit character counts back to parent process. How to do all this things with processes...

Code:

#include <getopt.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <errno.h>
/*size of character buffer to read in a file. */
#define BUFFSIZE 1000000

[code]....

C :: Counting Function - Prints All Input Lines That Are Longer Than 80 Characters

Jan 10, 2014

I'm doing an exercise that prints all input lines that are longer than 80 characters. I rather not use any libraries so I decided to write my own function that counts characters to use it in my main program. However when integrate things my function returns zero all the time.

Here is my full code:

/* Exercise 1-17 Write a program to print all input lines that are longer than 80 characters */

#include<stdio.h>
/* Declarations*/
#define MAX_STRING_LEN 1000
int count_characters(char S1[]);
int main() {

[Code] .....

So I was trying to debug my count_characters() function and this is the code if I was to run it seperately:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
/* counts character of a string*/
main() {
int nc = 0;
int c;
for (nc = 0; (c = getchar()) != '
'; ++nc);
printf("Number of characters = %d
", nc);
}

which works...

C++ :: Finding Memory Address For Characters

Sep 9, 2013

I've recently been reading tutorials on arrays and their aquaintance with memory addresses. So, I completely understand how an array's name, when defined, is a constant pointer to its first element's address.

My problem, however, lies with characters, and how they are basically arrays except with a null terminator for the last index. What I've come to undestand, is that, when defining a character variable, each 'character' has a memory address it is associated with.

For example:

char name[] = {"Hello"}; // | 'H' | 'e' | 'l' | 'l' | 'o' | '/0' |

An address holds the value of 'H'.
An address holds the value of 'e'.
An address holds the value of 'l' and so on.

I have come to believe this is false, however. Mainly from a simple std::cout command.

std::cout << &name << std::endl; // attempt 1
std::cout << &name[0] << std::endl; // attempt 2

The first attempt, as I assumed, should print the address of the first element.
The second attempt, as I assumed, did not. I figured, &names[0] would print the address of the first element, which should have been the same as &names.

So, this brings me to my question, are characters formed of constant addresses, or are the address of individual characters not reachable?

C++ :: Finding If String Has Unique Characters

Mar 28, 2013

bool isUnique(string _str)
{
bool char_set[256];
int len = _str.length();
memset(char_set, '/0', 256);
for(int i = 0; i < len; ++i)

[Code] .....

I came across this code to find if string has unique characters...i didnt understand why they subracted ascii value of character '0' in the statement int val = _str[i]- '0' and what is happening with the statements...

if(char_set[val])
{
return false;
}
char_set[val] = true;

I take each character in the sting and traverse the whole string .and if count is 2 i use break and conclude that its not unique and not otherwise...can i use this method or this is not efficient????

C/C++ :: Finding Highest Frequency From Array Of Characters

Jan 27, 2015

I have been working on a project that deals with an array of characters and finding there frequencies. I was able to determine the frequencies that where greater than 1, but I need to find the HIGHEST frequency.

Here is my full code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void input(char unlisted[80], int& n);
void bubblesort(char unlisted[80], char sortedlist[80], int n);

[Code].....

As you can see this will print out all frequencies that are bigger than 1, but I only want the highest frequency. Basically I want to print out all frequencies when count is greater than 1 less than count, but because its in a loop count will always be greater than count-1 so it prints out all frequencies.

C :: Counting Number Of Lines In A File

Feb 2, 2015

it looks like a popular method for determining the total lines in a file is to read the entire file character by character in search of ' '. I have a file with 5 lines, but for some reason this code isn't finding any instances of ' '. Is this possible? Is there a better way to get the number of lines in a file?

The file looks like this:

Code:
NAME: John
FRIEND 1: Steve
FRIEND 2: Andrea
FRIEND 3: Ken
OCCUPATION: Programmer

Code:
FILE *f = fopen(currentFile, "r");
if (f == NULL) perror ("Error opening file.
");
int ch, lines = 0;
while(!feof(f)){

C Sharp :: How To Count Number Of Lines In XML

Feb 4, 2013

Below is the response XML my programmer is getting from business service -

<Data>
<Maintain>
  <AssetList>
     <AssetDetails>
          <AssetDescriptor> 
             <ns1:ParentProductCat category="ABC">ABC</ns1:ParentProductCat

[code].....

In above XMl if you check the ParentProductCat is prefixed with ns1:,ns2:,ns3:....

My XSLT code only checkes for the ParentProductCat but since it is prefixed with "ns*:" (* is integer) it fails to find it. So that in C# code replace function is used to replace ns*: a for loop is used for this and it goes until 1000

But now my response crossed the 1000 mark and this time the XML contains total 14500 lines.So I want to replace all ns:*

For this I want to count the number of lines present in the XML so that the for loop will run until that line number. how to do that?

C++ :: Print Out Number Of Words And Lines In A File

Jan 29, 2012

Write a program that prompts the user for the name of a file. Then it opens the file, and counts the number of words and lines in the file, and prints out those counts.

I think I possibly could somehow use a counter to increment using getLIne() until getLine() returns NULL, but the problem is, I'm worried if I try that, a file that looks like this:

Bla bla bla bla bla lkfdljkfaklafdskjladsjkdfkjlkdfjdfshafdsjkjrerjkkjfaddjkfsafkjdjakdfsjkasfjkjkfdskjldfjkfjkdjfkdsakdjfkjfdkjdfskjfdsk
jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjdfkerea
blkjadkjlfdskjldfkjlfdkjfdjkdfsjkldfskljfksfdljfd

Only register four lines and not get the one after the fourth line.

So I was thinking of something like

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include<ifstream>
#include<cstring>
#include<string>
#include<vector>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
iostream keyboard;
ifstream file;
iostream cin;

[Code] .....

Did I do that right? Will that count the number of words and number of lines correctly?

C :: Finding The Closest Number To Another Number

Apr 10, 2014

Try not to make too much fun of me for my logic, but I'm having trouble with this. I am trying to make it so the program takes a 1 dimensional array and a 2 dimensional array, and checks to see what row in the 2 dimensional array is the closest to the 1D array.

To compute the value of the 1D array you take the first row first element in the 2D array, and the first element in the 1D array, subtract and the absolute value.

Example: | 4 - 3 | = 1;
1Darray = 1.

Full 1 Dimensional Array:
3 1 6 9

Full 2 Dimensional Array:
4 9 1 5
6 1 7 3
0 8 2 6

To compute the value of the first row in the 2D array,
| 4 - 3 | + | 9 - 1 | + | 1 - 6 | + | 5 - 9 | = 18.
| 6 - 3 | + | 1 - 1 | + | 7 - 6 | + | 3 - 9 | = 10.
| 0 - 3 | + | 8 - 1 | + | 2 - 6 | + | 6 - 9 | = 17.

Thus row 1 being the closest row to the 1 dimensional array.

The code I've written so far seems to be going down the right path. Have a look below...

Code:
int i,j,tempRow,tempTotal = 0,firEle,cloRow;
firEle = abs( x[0][0] - y[0] );

for( i = 0; i < size; i++ ) {
tempRow = 0;
for( j = 0; j < size; j++ ) {
tempRow += abs( x[i][j] - y[j] );

[Code] ....

The whole temp part is kind of confusing myself. What I'm thinking is that I can add all row values up using

Code: tempRow += abs( x[i][j] - y[j] ); , then I need to compare that value to see if it is close to the "firEle" which is value I need to get closest to.

C :: Program Count Number Of Lines Of Read Text File

Jan 25, 2013

I have a .txt file that contains, together with a few characters, columns of values that I want to save in different files like is written in the program (file 1, file2, file3 - a with x, b with y, c with z). The pattern of the source text file is like this:

known_vector frame1 151 65 0 frame2 151.000763 64.538582 0.563737
known_vector frame1 152 65 0 frame2 152.000702 64.542488 0.560822
known_vector frame1 153 65 0 frame2 153.000671 64.546150 0.558089

Until now I could manage to split the files, but the output gives me only zeros. First the program count the number of lines of the read text file, then it should display the desired columns of double values in three other .txt files.I've got for the three .txt files columns like this:

0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000

C++ :: Declaring Arrays - Counting Number Of Lines In Text File

Feb 9, 2013

I'm creating a program to read information about class schedules at my school, reformat the information, and allow the user to search for specific semesters. There are eight fields of information. I'm reading the info from a text file using eight parallel arrays, but I'm having trouble declaring the arrays. I can run this code in one compiler (Dev-C++) with no problems, but I get errors when trying to compile it using Visual Studio stating that arrays must be declared with a constant value. I have a loop to run through the text file, with a counter to increment with each subsequent line, then I create a constant int equal to the counter, and declare the arrays of size equal to the constant int. Here's the section of code in question:

// Counting the number of lines in the text file
inFileForLines.open("CIS225HW1DA.txt");
string countLine;
int numberOfLines = 0;
//Discarding the first line of the text file containing only column headings
getline(inFileForLines, countLine);
