Thread: Having some problems with homework.

Ok We are doing the basic I/O problems where you count the words, line and characters in a text file along with some other stuff.

With counting words I have it checking for spaces but it doesn't find a space at the end of the line so it doesn't count that last word.

Code:

if(myInFile.is_open()){
			
			while(getline(myInFile, theText)){			
				//myInFile >> word;
				lineCount++;
				for(int i = 0; i < theText.length(); i++){
					ch = theText[i];
					if(isspace(ch))
						wordCount++;
					cout << "char: " << ch << endl;
				}
				
				
			}
		}

So if I have something like

The Dog ran away
Yesterday he came back.

It will only count 6 words. It will not count the words away and back.

Thanks for any help.

How would you go about doing that?

I tried to see if ch == '\0' but that doesnt seem to work.

What is isn't doing is reading the last word of a line because there is no space after it.

Are you saying that the output to the screen after reading "The dog ran away" is just

Code:

t
h
e
 
d
o
g
 
r
a
n

?
