C++ :: Parse A String Containing Number And Characters From File
Feb 20, 2015
I have a text file which contains many sentences. I am trying to extract only the numerical values from the string that conatins characters,numbers and white spaces from the file. I want to seperate the characters and numbers into different parts.
for example: the file contains sentances as given below.
I have to go to school for 10min.
You will come here in 15min.
He stayed here for 20min.
from the above sentances, I want to seperate " I have to go to school for " and "10" and put them into two different variables and also 10 should be in integer format.

I wrote a function to count the number of characters in a string. Curious as to why I have to return x-1 and why x isn't the number of characters.
Code:
int count(char *string){
55 int x = 0;
56 char *p;
57 p = string;
58

I have recently hit a stump with C++ and have been getting pretty frustrated with this assignment. I just can't seem to find out how to start the assignment. Basically for the first part of the assignment, I need to find the number of characters in this .txt file my teacher provided for me. The only exception is that I can only count the actual letters themselves, not spaces or punctuation. How would I go about doing this? I have read about functions like isalpha but can't figure out on how to fit them into code to do the first part of this assignment.

I'm trying to copy a file into another file and copy the number of characters copied but my while loop doesn't even enter into a loop indicating the file is already at the EOF file character. I've confirmed this by placing the printf() statement inside the while loop, which doesn't print anything and by keeping it out of the while loop and changing the chars_copied to something like 9, it prints 9 for number of chars_copied. I don't understand why the file is already at the EOF character, I've tried this with a few more files, it's the same result.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
FILE *input_file, *output_file;
int c, chars_copied=0;
if((input_file=fopen("C:workmarks.txt", "r"))==NULL)
perror("input file open failed");

How does one read the number of characters in a .txt file excluding the spaces? Here is my code so far. I am getting 67, which is the correct number including spaces but can't find out how to exclude them. Here's my code!
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
/////////------------------/////////
//Function Prototypes//
int fileLength();

I have the following program
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "string.h"
#include "ctype.h"
/*selection sort*/
void swap(int A[], int j, int k) {
int p = A[k];
[Code] ....
Theoretically it should cound the number of apperances of each character in a string, but:
1) It is counting characters from letter "j" upwards thus all asci characters below "j" are not counted, why is that?
2) I want also to make this code calculate the number of apperances of each character in a txt file. How to do that, i know i have to open a file in read mode, that's all (I am new to c programming)?

So I am supposed to create a program that reads a file and replaces "<" with "<" , ">" with ">" , "&" with "&" , and " " " with """.........
The program takes a file "test.txt" and reads it, replaces the characters above with the corresponding strings, and then writes the output to "scrubbed.txt".
A sample input would be: <something>
and the output would be: <something>
for some reason I am getting garbage In my new file. What am I doing wrong with the code?
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<string.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv){
char *inFileName = NULL;
char *outFileName = NULL;
FILE *instream = fopen("test.txt", "r");
FILE *outstream = fopen("scrubbed.txt", "w");
[Code] ....

How would you convert say "238273615237287352536266362524382737272" base 10 to a base x number contained within a string of characters?

Suppose i have a text file with ":" as delimiter, how to i find the average value of each column? For e.g. First column will be (3+2+5)/3 and second column will be (61+87)/2 for the third column.
Sample text file
================
3:290:61:100:
2:50:
5:346:87:
I have tried using getline in while loop, but it seemed more complicated because i think it requires much more than that.

I am trying to parse a text file that contains information and i cant seem to get started. For example, the text file looks like this:
idx=929392, pl= 12, name= someperson
age=19
state=ma
status=n/a
idx=929393, pl= 12, name= someperson2
age=20
state=ma
status=n/a
idx=929394, pl= 12, name= someperson3
age=21
state=ma
status=n/a
I want to parse the name and age into another text file like this format:
someperson 19
someperson 20
someperson 21
possibly include other attributes next to the age like idx?

I have this project for school where I basically need to write a program that will take any text file and convert it into html code.
string line;
int lineCount = 0;
while (!inFile.eof()) {
getline(inFile, line);
cout << line << endl;
lineCount++;
}
cout << lineCount - 1 << " lines of text read in this file." << endl;
I have this block of code to print each line of the text file into the terminal window and count the number of lines printed. But I don't know how to make it change a single character or set of characters to something else. For example, if a line of text begins with the number "1", I want to be able to change it to "<h1>".

I'm trying to make a program where it reads a text file which contains "blocks" of questions like:
Type: multiple_choice
Question
Num_options: number of options
a) option1
b) option2
c) option3
d) option4
Letter of answer
and
Type: short_answer
Question
Answer text
what I'm trying to do is use parse those blocks and have it get handled by the classes, MultipleChoice and ShortAnswer.
I'm planning on using getline as a virtual function and have an if statement like
"if (string == "multiple choice)
** then get it handled by the MultipleChoice class "

Write a program that reads the telephone.dat file and displays its contents on the console. The program should allow the user to add new entries to the file.
I have saved the file into a resource file within visual studio and I am trying to run the code to where the file will be shown when I run the program. I know that the program is running and the file is there because if i misspell the filename it will give me the error message. I don't know how to make the contents of the file display.

I am working on a program where I am reading in a text file to be parsed to load data objects into their appropriate classes. I have a class to load in this file and to parse its contents. I am at the point where I would like to include the ability to have both C and C++ style comments in this text file. My current class has a constructor that takes in const std::string for its file name. Upon construction I have a while loop that calls a member function getNextLine() as long as this is true this loader class object then calls parseGui(). All of this works correctly so far. Within the function getNextLine() looks like this:
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// getNextLine()
// Returns True If It Got A Line Of Text (Could Be Blank If It Is All Commented Out Or
// If It Truly Was A Blank Line). False Is Returned When There Is No More Data In The File
bool GuiLoader::getNextLine() {
if ( !_file.readLine( _strLine ) ) {
return false;
[Code] ....
As you can see this getNextLine() method reads in a single line of text and saves it into its member variable which is a std::string. It increments the line number, then a utility function trims out leading and ending white spaces. The next part is where this class calls a member function to remove comments. It is in here where I need to parse the string to look for comments either "//" C++ style line comments or "/* ... */" C style block comments that can span multiple lines. I have tried many different ways to go about doing this, and I am stuck on the C style comments. A note to consider is this: the way this code is designed is reading in a line of text from the file into a string variable and in doing so it is not logical for me to read in the complete file and do a pre-parse scan or analyzer.
This is what I have so far, however there are still cases that this code will fail on
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// removeComments()
void GuiLoader::removeComments() {
const unsigned tokenLength = 1;
static std::string::size_type indexA;
static std::string::size_type indexB;
const std::string commentStartingToken( "/" );
const std::string blockCommentStartingQualifier( "*" );
[Code] .....
An example of where this code will fail is when it encounters a single '/' any where on a line of text as it goes into an infinite loop. I am not sure on how to go about skipping this lonely '/' and advanced the index to look for a possible next '/' that belongs to a '//' or a '/*'. I know that this is sort of trivial, but for some reason or another I am having writers block.

I'm using the Split method to parse line in a csv file. The following code works if there are no commas in the text of my data.
string csvLine;
string[] splitLine;
csvLine = "Jim Borland,1234,Never dreams in code";
splitLine = csvLine.Split(',');
But if I have commas in the some of the text as below I get then wrong output. So I need split on a commas which are not enclosed in double quotes.
string csvLine;
string[] splitLine;
csvLine = ""Jim,C,Borland",1234,"Never dreams in code"";
splitLine = csvLine.Split(',');
The output I want is:
Jim,C,Borland
1234
Never dreams in code
I found this :
If your strings are all well-formed it is possible with the following regular expression:
String[] res = str.split(",(?=([^"]|"[^"]*")*$)");
The expression ensures that a split occurs only at commas which are followed by an even (or zero) number of quotes ... and thus not inside such quotes).
Nevertheless, it may be easier to use a simple non-regex parser.
But the .split gives me an error and .Split doesn't work either.

I have a text file with the following format
//MAIN OBJECT
Object = ControlNetwork
Created = 2013-01-28T12:26:17
//FIRST CONTROL POINT OBJECT
Object = ControlPoint
PointId = 1
[Code] ....
I want to get the X and Y coordinates of the each control points from 2 images.
For example, from the above file i want to retrieve such information:
-PointID=1 and point coordinates are 802,725(from image1) and 480,708 (from image2)
-PointID=2 and point coordinates are 317,130(from image1) and 128,116 (from image2)
There can be millions of points in such a text file. So what is the best way to parse these files?

In the assignment we are forbidden to use fscanf(). I have been trying to get this to work, but I've started to realize that I do not have a complete understanding of what strtok() actually does. I'm getting this warning when debugging: "assignment makes integer from pointer without cast."
This warning happens when assigning str to goal and assist, and I think it is because they are, when dereferenced, integers. The code below correctly assigns the name into the correct spot, but leaves nonsense data in the goal and assist arrays.
ex:-7880, -7888 file example: NAME GOALS ASSISTS JOHN 1 2
Code:
void readLinesFromFile( FILE* Ptr, int* goal, int* assist, char** name, int lines ){/*
* Reads lines from files and populates the arrays with the corresponding info.
*/
int index;
char hold[ MAX_LINE ] = { 0 };
char* str = NULL;
[Code] .....
From what I understand about strtok(), it returns a string, and takes in a character array and a key value that tells it when to stop. In the online examples I've seen, they use NULL in the first field. I'm not sure why.

I am stuck in this program, Be given a string of chars, where each single char belongs to the following alphabet: a..zA..Z0..9 (So, in the string there are only lowercases, uppercases and digits. No blank, no comma, ...). For every char of the given alphabet, count how many times in the string
1-- the char belong to a sequence of identical chars whose length is at least three (i.e.: in the string cc74uyrpfccc348fhsjcccc3848djccccc484jd for three times the character 'c' satisfies this condition)
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
[Code]...
2-what is the longest substring of characters strictly rising interm of ASCII code(the following is greater (>) of the previous)
3- what is the longest substring of successive characters interm of given string rannge (i.e.: fhkjshdfruytyzABCDEfglsj => 7)
