Searching File for String

**bcianfrocca** · 09-07-2005

I need to locate certain strings within a file that I've created and am not sure how to do it. I need to find, for instance, all players that are from Arizona within this...

Hmm, how about:

Code:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
  ifstream ifs("pac10.txt");
  string line;

  while (getline(ifs, line)) {
    if (line.find("Arizona") != string::npos)
      cout << line << '\n';
  }

  return 0;
}

There's no need to break the record into fields if all you're going to do is print the entire record. Unless you're doing some extra formatting and such.

**bcianfrocca** · 09-07-2005

nah, that doesnt work, because i have to sort all that information by pac10 schools... they will have to go

Arizona
Arizona St.
California
Oregon
Oregon St.
Southern California
Stanford
UCLA
Washington
Washington St

Plus, I have to switch the first and last name around so it looks right... so the cout<<line<</n won't work either...

this is a toughy...

**bcianfrocca** · 09-07-2005

also... the "line.find" will find Arizona Cardinals also, and print them out by mistake...

that's why i use the field infoPac10.college to hold all the info that i need to sort... this is making me very angry!!!

**Narf** · 09-07-2005

Okay, so break the line up into fields like you do with the other options. You have a college field, so just test it against the one you're looking for and print all of the fields if you have a match. Since you're sorting the file, you should probably copy each record into an array, then sort with the college as your key. You have all of the pieces in place, just put them together and you're solid.

**bcianfrocca** · 09-07-2005

I can do that, but how do I do it without an "if" statement... and if i use multiple "if" statements, then it doesnt sort itself according to the college...??? I need to know how to sort the file i think and then store the sorted file... that would make things ALOT simpler...

**bcianfrocca** · 09-07-2005

i still can't figure this out... this is getting rediculous....

**Narf** · 09-07-2005

but how do I do it without an "if" statement

Why can't you use an if statement? That's a stupid restriction, but you can easily solve the problem with the standard library:

Code:

#include <algorithm>
#include <cstring>

bool cmp(pac10& a, pac10& b) {
  return std::strcmp(a.college, b.college);
}

pac10 list[SOME_SUITABLE_SIZE];

// Fill list with records from the file. You already know how to do this.

std::sort(list, list + SOME_SUITABLE_SIZE, cmp);
// Done!

**bcianfrocca** · 09-07-2005

I must be a total retard, because I can't get this to work... still... i'm so frustrated i could take out the support walls for my house... lol. I give up...

**bcianfrocca** · 09-07-2005

b.t.w.... i can use an 'if' statement, but if i do more than one if statement... it takes away the point of it... for instance...

Code:

if (pac10[0] == infoPac10.college)
  //write to file or print out entire formatted line
if (pac10[1] == infoPac10.college)
  //write to file or print out entire formatted line

it would work if i were only using one if statement, but with multiple if's, it defeats the purpose, because it will mix pac10[0] and pac10[1] together...

is there a way for this to be avoided????

so that when i find all Arizona... it is printed to a file... then when i find Arizona State, it is printed after all the Arizona... and so on... instead of it checking everything at one??

**Narf** · 09-07-2005

I give up...

Good idea. Take a break, take a nap, come back to it in the morning with a fresh mind.

is there a way for this to be avoided????

Yes, but I'm beginning to think that you should put this program aside and make another one. A smaller program that just handles option 3, so you don't get confused with everything else that's going on.

**bcianfrocca** · 09-07-2005

how about i break my monitors and my hard disk?? lol... what do you mean a smaller program?

**Narf** · 09-07-2005

what do you mean a smaller program?

Instead of one program with all of the features you want, make several programs that have one feature each. That way you can focus on a single feature at a time. When you get them all working, it's a simple matter of putting them all together into one. Wouldn't you agree that that's better than trying to write the entire program all at once and being totally confused when you have trouble half way into it?

**bcianfrocca** · 09-07-2005

Yes, i agree, however; i feel if i am too stupid to have this work in one program, then i am too stupid have it work with multiple programs.. lol... anyways... here's what i have so far if you wanna take another look at it...

now i'm stuck on putting the data into an array and then sorting the array... i figure that's the best approach... i'm using an exchange sort to sort the data into "pac10 array[5000];"

i feel if i am too stupid to have this work in one program, then i am too stupid have it work with multiple programs.. lol...

It seems you're also too stupid to see how dividing a problem into smaller pieces makes it easier to solve. That's a joke, by the way. Please don't be offended because I don't really think you're stupid.

here's what i have so far if you wanna take another look at it...

You're on the right track. But my subtle suggestion that breaking the problem down into smaller parts was for my benefit as well as yours. Your code isn't formatted that well, and it's easier to track down specific problems as well as offer code based suggestions if your problem code is short. Neither of us want me to get fired because I was playing with your full program when I should have been working on my own code.
