Thats not how we do things here. YOu need to post some of the code that you have, then we will correct/ add to it wor you.

Yes I understand. Blow you can see the problem andthe solution i have. but it doesnt work. it would be great if you could see whats the problem and fix it. to be hones its not even my program, i had to write it for somebody but i didnt have time. so if you can help me it would be Amazing. I dont have much time too!

Problem:

You have been asked to write a text analysis program.
This program will calculate and output the overall
number of characters, words and lines within a text
file. In
addition, the program will analyze the number of
characters and determine how many characters are
alphabetic, numeric, or punctuation.



Sample Output:

The text file consisted of 2 lines.
The text file consisted of 27 words.
The text file consisted of 128 characters
Alphabetic 100
Numeric 12
Punctuation 8
Other 8

-------------------------
Code:



#include iostream>
#include fstream>
#include stdlib.h>
#include stdio.h>
#include cstdlib>

int main()
{
int alphacout=0,
digitcout=0,
wordcout=0,
linecout=0,
puncout=0,
charcout=0,
othercot=0;
int curr_char,
pre_char;
char ch;
//ifstream constructor opens the file
ifstream infile("c:\\text1.txt",ios::nocreate);

if (!infile){
cerr<<"File could not be opened\n";
exit(1); //ends Entire program!!
}

while(!Infile.eof())
{
Infile.get(ch);

if(isalpha(ch))
++alphacout=0;
else if(isdigit(ch))
++digitcout;
else if(ispunctuation(ch))
++puncout;
else if(ch=='\n')
++linecout;
else if (curr_char==' '&& pre_char!=' ')
++wordcout;
else
++ othercout

charcount=alphacount+digitcountcount+puncout+othercout;
}

ofstream outfile("c:\\text1.txt",ios:

if(!infile.is.open()){
cerr<<"unable to open outputfile\n";
exit(1);
}
cout<<"The text file consisted of

infile.close();
return 0;

DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK.

IS THERE A MODERATOR FOR THIS LIST??? WE NEED TO BAN THESE POSTS.

 

First: Is there something wrong with posting code and asking for help with it? I know we frown upon simply asking to write a complete program/script, but as far as I know there is nothing wrong with asking for some help.

Second: I think the moderators know their jobs quite well. I am not quite sure how sciforums has been setup with vBulletin but I am more than confident that there is someone that moderates this particular forum. You do not need to tell them what should be banned or not be banned. More so, I do not think that your current amount of experience on sciforums gives you the ability to decide what posts should be banned.

 

Ready the Lynch Mob!

My I/O with regards to file handling isn't up to par just yet, but you get the gist of it. Keep plugging away Bardia--it looks like you understand a good deal of what you're asking about!

#include &lt;conio.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

<b>void</b> main(&nbsp; )
{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>int</b> digit = 0;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>int</b> alpha = 0;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>int</b> words = 0;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>int</b> punct = 0;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>char</b> inputString[500];
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cout << "Enter a string of whatever you want:\n-->";
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cin.getline(inputString, 500, '\n');
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>for</b> (<b>unsigned int</b> i = 0; i < strlen(inputString); i++)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>if</b> (isdigit(inputString))
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;digit++;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>else if</b> (isalpha(inputString))
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;alpha++;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>else if</b> (ispunct(inputString))
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;punct++;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>else if</b> (isspace(inputString) && inputString[i-1] != '&nbsp;')
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;words++;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cout << "The string contains " << alpha << " characters.\n";
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cout << "The string contains " << digit << " numericals.\n";
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cout << "The string contains " << punct << " punctuations.\n";
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cout << "The string contains " << words + 1 << " words.\n";
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;getch(&nbsp; )
}

Sample:
Enter a string of whatever you want:
-->Hi, my name is Bardia and I have 2 posts already!
The string contains 36 characters.
The string contains 1 numericals.
The string contains 2 punctuations.
The string contains 11 words.

Way to jump to conclusions guys . . .

It's so obviously clear that is a hw assignment. There is nothing wrong with posting code and asking for help as long as it follows a general sense of ethics. Testify, that looks like a good chunk of code to me. It clearly sends a message to the student . . . "you do not need to finish all your programming assignments since you can abuse www.sciforums.com as a medium to obtain your programming solutions for homework submission." If you argue against that, you need to seriously check your code of ethics Testify.

Second, I believe it is in my right to ask the moderator (which I believe there is none for this particular forum) to ban posts that ask for homework solutions. Most importantly, your notion that my twenty-something odd posts is a metric of my ability to decide what posts should be banned is naive. Clearly, given your amount of posts, there has been no addition of wisdom imparted on you.

 

*waves a finger at himself* BAD TESTIFY. Well, ok I guess he has sufficient (heh) experience on the forums, but I still see no need to grill Bardia for his post.
