hi, im learnin c++ so i dont know much about it at the moment, but i have an assignment from college and i have to accept a string from the user, which i can do, but the problem i am having is this
I must make sure some data is entered - how would i do this
and it must be text only, the program should reject any other data
please help
thanks
Well show us how you read stuff in, then perhaps we can tell you how to validate it
> and it must be text only, the program should reject any other data
Pretty much everything you can type at the keyboard would be regarded as text, can you be more specific (like alphabet chars only)
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
im using cgets to get information
and only alphabet characters can be used, letters that would be used in names
thanks
So I'm guessing that a for loop to examine every character in the string, and using the isalpha() function in ctype.h would be something to try
