Thread: Help Needed Please!!!!!

Hi,

I have a small problem that I need to fix. I have char array which has capital letters spread throughout them . I want to be abe to scan through the array and everytime i see a capital letter insert a space before it . Is this possible .

Can anyone help ??

Thanks a lot

Jon

I have not tried this myself, but in my mind this would work...
Otherwise we will see some complaints below wont we!!

something like this...

for (i = 0;textArray[i] != '\0';i++)
{
if ( toupper (textArray[i]))
{
cout << textArray[i];
}
}

this is just in my mind though, as I said, I have never tried it!!
This may just make all the character as capital letter, and then this just tests if that is possible....

use a loop to check each element of the char array from element[0] and < element[strlen(string)]. check each element with isupper() as indicated in previous post. if isupper() is true then shift all elements of char array from element[strlen(string)] to current element[index] to right by one (eg, element[index + 1] = element[index]). then assign space to element[index]. Be sure there is enough space in char array to avoid overwriting array bounds.

Easier still is to use the insert() method of vectors, if you have/are allowed the luxury.

Most things that gets into my mind the first time usually don´t work, so here is some code that actually works!!

Eaven though it may not be the best example..

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
const int uc_start = 65;
const int uc_end = 90;
const int size = 1000;
char bText[size] = "Hello There, You Supreme C++ Programmer";
char upperCase[size];
int i = 0,j = 0;

for (i = 0;bText[i] != '\0';i++)
{
if ( (int)bText[i] >= uc_start && (int)bText[i] <= uc_end )
{
upperCase[j] = bText[i];
j++;
}

}
upperCase[j] = '\0';
cout << endl;
cout << "The UpperCase characters in bText[] is: " << flush;
cout << upperCase << endl;

return 0;
}

I forgot the code tags!!

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	const int uc_start = 65;	// upper case chars starts at this (int) value
	const int uc_end = 90;		// upper case chars starts at this (int) value
	const int size = 1000;
	char bText[size] = "Hello There, You Supreme C++ Programmer";
	char upperCase[size];
	int i = 0,j = 0;

	for (i = 0;bText[i] != '\0';i++)
	{
		if ((int)bText[i] >= uc_start && (int)bText[i] <= uc_end)
		{
			upperCase[j] = bText[i];
			j++;
		}

	}
	upperCase[j] = '\0';
	cout << endl;
	cout << "The UpperCase characters in bText[] is: " << flush;
	cout << upperCase << endl;

	return 0;
}

Well part of it is correct anyways, not bad I think...
I have a habit of quickly reading trough messages, so I usually end up doing something like this...Bummer

Dude, Vinterwolf, check out the edit button on the bottom right of each of your posts

The main idea is to creatively use the isupper() function in ctype.h (or cctype for your ANSI kidz ) and shifting to do this. The problem is to create an array that will be able to adequately hold all these new spaces.

Uraldor has the right idea here. vVv's code will work (and I admire it) but it might be hard for some people to understand if they don't understand the ASCII system.
