Count words in a string

Hi all,

I want to find the number of words in a string. That string only contain whitespace, tab space and the new line character. So I code it as follows.

int numberOfWords = 1;
string st(pBuffer);

for(int i = 0;i <= st.length(); i++)
{
    // Whitespace and tab space
    if(pBuffer[i] == ' ')
    {
        numberOfWords ++;
    }
            if(pBuffer[i] == '\t')
            {
                    numberOfWords ++;
            }

    // Newline
    if(pBuffer[i] == '\n')
    {
        numberOfWords ++;
    }

}

cout << "\n" << numberOfWords;

But this code is odd. I mean say there is a whitespace and a tab space are occur with each other. Then the result is wrong. How can I avoid such odd points there.

I appreciate your help all the time...

Take a look if the character at i-1 and i+1 are valid before increasing the counter.

int numberOfWords = 1;

BTW... if you are asking about 2 spaces or 2 tabs together... then you should take care on empty buffer, so start in numberOfWords = 0 :P

Or should I check i and i+1. I'll use it and failed.

Nelek wrote:

I've change my code as this.

bool isLastCharBlank = true;
int iWordCount = 0;

char * szTemp = szInputString;

while(*szTemp)
{
    // Whitespase, tab and newline
    if ((*szTemp == ' ') || (*szTemp == '\n'))
    {
        isLastCharBlank = true;
    }

    else if (isLastCharBlank)
    {
        iWordCount++;
        isLastCharBlank = false;
    }
    szTemp++;
}
cout << iWordCount;

Since I've use a pointer to the string I can avoid such instances (I mean 2 spaces, 2 tabs, a tab and a space etc)

But now my question is how to avoid multiple new line characters at the end.

I appreciate your help all the time...

What about:

int count=0;
int len = strlen(pBuffer);
int i =0;
for ( ; ; )
{
  while (pBuffer[i]==' ' || pBuffer[i] == '\t' || pBuffer[i] == '\n' && i < len)
  {
    i++;
  }
  if (i ==len ) break;
  count++;
  while (!( pBuffer[i]==' ' || pBuffer[i] == '\t' || pBuffer[i] == '\n') && i < len)
  {
    i++;
  } 
  if (i == len) break;
}

It is odd, but has a chance to work

Yes, it's work. But how can I avoid the multiple newline characters at the end.

Say my string is "One Two Three", and I've enter two times the enter key. So the the result is not 3, that is because of the additional new line characters. How can I avoid it. When I take the length it gives the length more than the original length.

I appreciate your help all the time...

Do you mean CR-LF pair? I f the answer is yes, then you have to handle the carriage return '\r' character too, for instance

...
while(pBuffer[i]==' ' || pBuffer[i] == '\t' ||
      pBuffer[i] == '\n' || pBuffer[i] == '\r' && i < len)
...

and so on

Oki, I got your point. But now I'm really confusing, if I've not take the definition in wrong way. That is, carriage return can be occur within a string? My initial code detect only the final newline characters, not within the string.

Can you explain it little more. Smile | :)

That is interesting, and I found that another thing also. When I use your code line that multiple newline at the end avoided.

Ok, say I type a word then any number of spaces, tabs the answer is right. If I add a newline after all those things, the answer is added one more. Only one and it is happened within the string. That mean carriage return can't avoid within the string???? or...??

I appreciate your help all the time...

AS I suggested you can augment my code to intercept and discard carriage returns ('\r') as well as any other character.

you could use a string tokenizer[^], and then just count the occurences (that mean, is the example above, count the vector size)...

hot to resolve such redefined type errors?

I want to use ZwCreateFile() and ZwQueryInformationFile() in wdm.h or ntddk.h.

but if I incluce either of above,there would be hundreds of typedef redefining errors like PVOID64,and so on. The messages said the types had been defined in winnt.h.
But if I conclude winnt.h there would be more errors occur!
Someone would tell me how to resolve such errors?

Thanks.

GOOD LUCK

i don't think they will. in fact, i hope files from microsoft SDKs like wdm.h or ntddk.h already have such inclusion securities...

You cannot include the ntddk.h in an application with the windows.h. so the only turn around is to copy the function definition from the ntddk.h and paste in one for your local file.
