Thread: The program that i can un with dev c++ but it cannot work with visual

Print number of a word case-insensitively. For instance in the expression “Van’da van kedisi
Vanlıların nesesidir” -which is a weird sentence- the word “van” is found 3 times.

Code:

void FindWord(char *ptr){
	
	int counter=0;
	char *str;
	int i=0;
	int j,f,word=0;
	char v=' ';
	char text[15];
	printf("please enter the text that you will search :");
	gets(text);
	int size=strlen(ptr);
	int size2=strlen(text);


	while(i<size){
	
		j=f=0;


	while(j<size2){
	
	if(ptr[i++]!=text[j++]){


		f=1;
		i--;
		




	}
	}


 if((f==0) && (i==size || ptr[i]==' ') && (v==' '))
	
		word++;


		v=ptr[i++];
	}
	printf("the word %d times occured",word);
}

Most likely it isn't a difference between VS and dev-c++. You're only allocating 15 bytes, and "Van’da van kedisi Vanlıların nesesidir" is way more than that. And using gets() will cause a buffer overflow either way. It happens to be that the time you ran it with dev-c++, you got lucky and were able to parse it.

Instead, allocate more memory, use fgets() instead of gets(), and drop dev-c++.

my main prototype like that :

Code:

int main(){


    char text[500],copy[500];
    
    printf("Please enter text:");
    gets(text);
    strcpy(copy,text);
    Vowel(text);  //other functions
    Consonant(text); //other functions
    Punctuation(text); //other functions
    
    NumberCounter(text); //other functions
    FindWord(text);
    strcpy(copy,text);
system("pause");
return 0;
}

whatever how can i do this? If i erase that function what kind of method can i use?

Code:

void FindWord(char *ptr){
    
    int counter=0;
    char *str;


    int i=0;
    int j,f,word=0;
    char v=' ';
    char text[15];
    printf("please enter the text that you will search :");
    fgets(text,15,stdin);
    int size=strlen(ptr);
    int size2=strlen(text);


    while(i<size){
    
        j=f=0;


    while(j<size2){
    
    if(ptr[i++]!=text[j++]){


        f=1;
        i--;
        




    }
    }


 if((f==0) && (i==size || ptr[i]==' ') && (v==' '))
    
        word++;


        v=ptr[i++];
    }
    printf("the word %d times occured",word);
}

after that changing eveyting is same the result as everytime 1

i wrote that problem with easiest way can you check it again? bur the problem is: when i write this code with fgets the result is every time 0 but when i write with gets result is everytime 1. and then when i write with dev c++ result is correct. what can i do again

Code:

void FindWord(char *ptr){
	char *strptr, word[20] = {""};
	int i = 0, j = 0;
	
	fgets(word,15,stdin);
	strptr = ptr;
	
	while ((strptr = strstr(strptr, word)) != NULL)
	{
		strptr++;
		j++;
	}
	
	printf("%s occured %d times in the string\n", word, j);
	
}

iwrote that with scanf too but result again 1
