Visual C++ :: Searching File For String?

Nov 8, 2012

The program then asks the user for a search string, which may contain white space. The program should search the file for every occurrence of the search string. When the string is found, the line that contains it should be displayed in the following format

nnnnn:Line Contents

That is the line number of the line, 5 columns wide, right justified, followed by a colon, followed by the contents of the line.

And this is what I've got so far:

Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
ifstream inFile;
string fileName,

[code]....

But this doesn't work. It prints everything in the file, not just the lines where the string is found.

C++ :: Searching Files For A String

Jan 30, 2013

I have 80,675 Files, 8,213 SubFolders.

I would like to search each file for a string, which will be last name.

Matches string, outputs path/filename, either to screen or a output file.

I have done this to a single file but never to multiple files and folders.

C++ :: Searching String Within Vector Struct

Nov 3, 2013

New to C++ lambda, got two question in regards of searching for strings within a vector struct.

Minimalistic example:
Code:
struct singleFile {
std::string filename;
};

std::vector<singleFile>myStorage;
myStorage.push_back(singleFile());

[Code] ....

1) why does found always return 0 eventhough the filename exists?

2) I don't know how to pass an actual search string instead of the hardcoded approach as above with filename =="

C :: Searching A String On Char Matrix

Apr 12, 2014

I want to make a program that receives the number of lines and collumns of a matrix, a matrix of char, the number of pairs of coordinates and the coordinates. the program has to return the char (or chars) that are on those coordinates on the matrix.

Example:

receives
2 3 ABC DEF 2 1 1 1 2

returns

AB

this is how i tried to solve this problem:

Code:
#include
#define MAX 1000
int main() {
int nlin, ncol;
char mat[MAX][MAX];
int x[MAX], y[MAX];
int ncoords;
int l, c, n;

/* receiving variables and storing matrix.*/

[Code] .....

For some reason that i can't seem to find, this solution is not right.

C/C++ :: Sorting And Searching Two Arrays (int / String)

Apr 2, 2014

Write a function to read and display the contents of names and marks. You then ask the user for a name and using the linear search return the index to the user. If -1 is returned then the name is not in the file. Otherwise write out the name and mark for that student.

Next, sort the arrays, write them out and then ask the user for a name to search for. This time use the binarySearch to return -1 or an index. Display the student's name and mark if found.

void getNames(ifstream& inStream, string names[], int marks[], int numElts);
int linearSearch(const string names[], int numElts,string who);
int binarySearch(const string names[], int numElts,string who);
void selectionSort(string names[], int marks[],int numElts);
void displayData(const string names[], const int marks[], int numElts);
[Code] ....

Now I have worked up some stuff in parts but I am so lost and confused with these specific requirements: Previous questions asked me to sort out a linear search, a binary search and

LINEAR SEARCH:

int searchList(int list[], int numElems, int value) {
int index = 0; // Used as a subscript to search array
int position = -1; // To record position of search value
bool found = false; // Flag to indicate if value was found

[Code] ....

C++ :: Searching In CSV File?

Feb 6, 2013

My .csv file is like:

Bone,origin,deep/superficial,location, action.

with list of 38 bones.

This is my main.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "Action.h"
#include "Action.cpp"

[Code] .....

For action, if user enters action, it will output the bones involved with that action.
For strengthening, if user enters location, it will output bones involved with that location.
For dagnostic, if user enters bone, it will output location of bone and whether bone is deep/superficial.

How I could search in csv file for these.

C++ :: Banking System - Searching For And Printing Values From TXT File

Mar 21, 2013

So I'm doing a kind of banking system. Atm I've got the user able to create an account and set the balance of it, which is written to a .txt file. However, I would like the user to be able to enter their account no. and the program to cout the account info on the screen. I will be adding more to the program later, but until I work out how to search for values in a .txt file, and print out values on that line I'm a bit stuck.

Code:
Main.cpp -
#include <iostream>
#include "create_account.h"
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int menuin;
int main() {
create_account creataccObj;

[Code] .....

Sample .txt file -

// Account_no - Balance //

1001 140500
1002 150600
1003 18600

Visual C++ :: Retrieving Size Of Each String In Order To Produce A New Buffer For Concatenated String

Feb 25, 2013

What is the efficiency of the two assignments (line 1 and 2), i.e. (function calls, number of copies made, etc), also the Big O notation. I know there are function calls for retrieving the size of each string in order to produce a new buffer for the concatenated string...any difference between line 1 and 2 in terms of efficiency?

String s("Hello");
String t("There");
1. s = s + t;
2. s += t;

Visual C++ :: Reverse String Sequence In String Buffer

Apr 27, 2013

I made a simple little program that takes text from the clipboard, and spits out all the lines I've copied one at a time (so my program can analyze it).

everything works perfectly, except, it spits it own in the wrong order, I want it to spit out from bottom to top. but currently it spits out the data from top to bottom. here is my code :

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
HANDLE clip; // assigns the var. clip to hold a handle ID.

[Code] .....

I want this loop to run backwards! Like it say's what I want to work backwards. Where as I know how to flip a while loop like this: while(x < 5), how to flip a loop like the one I'm using. how I can do this?

Visual C++ :: How To Insert A String Right In The Middle Of Another String

Nov 16, 2014

I'm new to strings. I want to know how to insert a string right in the middle of another string.Is it possible to do that? for example my first random word is 12345678 and the 2nd random word is jimmy I would have to write .

This in my code uno.insert(4,dos); for jimmy to be printed in the middle of the first string,but what if my 1st random word is has more than 8 characters what would I do in that case?

Code:
cout << "type random word" << endl;
getline (cin , uno);
//greatavenue
cout <<"enter random word#2"<<endl;
getline (cin , dos);
//_coconut_

uno.insert(5,dos);

C# :: Searching DB For Value In Textbox (WPF)

Nov 3, 2014

WPF window I'm working on. I have a window that has a textbox to enter a name to search a database table for, and when the search button is clicked, the ID for that username will be returned to a separate textbox. The code I've written atm doesn't seem to be working, but it looks fine to me. Here's what I've got;

private void btn_SearchUsers_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(txtb_SearchName.Text))
{
SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(conStr);

[Code] .....

So, I have the value entered into the textbox to be searched for stored in a variable, I'm selecting the ID from the table when the name in the variable is found, storing the result in a DataTable, and then in my foreach loop, if I find the name (the name column being index 1 in the table), I set set the ID result textbox to equal the ID for that name (the ID column being index 0 in the table). I think the foreach part is what's throwing me off. Maybe the column stuff? My Users table is like;

ID Name
1 John
2 Roger
3 Mike

C++ :: Functions Searching A Database

Aug 8, 2013

I am trying to write a program to search a library file with the name of a book or author and return the books that match the searched string in some way. For instance, if I search "Develop" it should display Game Development Essentials(Novak) and Developing Games in Java(Brackeen) and tell me that 2 records were found. Currently, it shows all the records regardless of what i search for, even if it is jibberish. Am I missing something in my functions? should I include the code that accesses these functions?

//If the user chooses A or a
int showBooksByAuthor (int count, string name)
{
char choice;
int index = 0;
}

C++ :: Searching A MultiMap With Regex

Apr 24, 2014

I have a multimap with over 300k entries defined like so: std::multimap<std::string, std::string> filedata;

Using the following code and std::multimap::equal_range, I am able to successfully search for a word in the multimap and get needed data:

// Data with strings.
data = std::vector<std::string>();
// Get iterators to matched pairs.
std::pair <std::multimap<std::string, std::string>::iterator, std::multimap<std::string, std::string>::iterator> dat = filedata.equal_range(word);
// Go through each matched pair and get needed info.
for (std::multimap<std::string, std::string>::iterator iter = dat.first; iter != dat.second; iter++) {
data.push_back(iter->second);
}

Now, I would like to search the multimap using regular expressions (EX: std::regex("[a-z][a-e]h")). What is the fastest way to do this? Example code may look like:

std::pair <std::multimap<std::string, std::string>::iterator, std::multimap<std::string, std::string>::iterator> dat = filedata.equal_range_with_regex(std::regex("" + word + ""));. Pseudo-code / algorithms will be enough.

C++ :: Searching An Ordered List

Oct 3, 2013

Make an ordered array. Put a bunch of random numbers into it. Do 20 linear searches and 20 binary searches of that array. (Code for linear search and binary search are found in the book.)Print out how many elements were checked before the item is found

I'm not looking for answers as it is homework. However I don't understand what I'm doing. This course is being held online(no other options) and that's not how I learn so I'm struggling. From my understanding I have to make a templated ordered array (which I don't understand at all) and then do searches (which I also don't understand).

C++ :: Binary Searching By A Key Containing Two Variables?

Nov 24, 2014

So I have an array of distinct pairs of natural numbers. That is, my array looks something like this (for instance):

{ (1,5) , (6,4), (5,3), (2,3), (2,4) }

And my task is, for a given pair (a,b) find (if it exists) the pair (c,d) which has c > a and d > b and, in addition, is the "minimal" such pair (that is, c is minimal and, if there are multiple pairs which satisfy this with the same c, then d is minimal.

So for instance, if I run the query for the above array for pair (1,1), it should return (2,3) and if I feed it (5,2) it should return (6,4).

Now the problem is that I have to run multiple queries so linear time is not good enough. And my question is: is there any way in / any law by which I can "sort" such an array so that I can later run binary searches on it to find my answer?

I was thinking I could simply go like this: let (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) be two pairs to compare. Then:

if(x1<x2)
//pair 1 is smaller
else if(x1==x2 && y1<y2)
//pair 1 is smaller
else
//pair 2 is smaller

This seemed to solve most cases, however.. if I have an array which looks like this:

{ .... (50,60) ..... }

where (50, 60) is at the middle of the array. And I run a query for (40,70) for instance. The problem is that the pair that I want to find could be either on the left or on the right of (50,60) (we could have something like (45,90) on the right of (50, 60), but then again we could only have (x,10) on the left of (50,60) where x<50 so no pair on the left would satisfy our condition and I'd have to look to the right).

So to sum it up, if I'm running a query for pair (x1,y1) and through my binary search I come across and element (x2,y2) which has x1<x2 and y1>=y2, then my algorithm cannot decide whether it should keep searching left or right. So I have to search both sides and in a worst case scenario this ends up being O(n).
