need help with C++ using maps to keep track of words in a INPUT file
- by eNetik
Let say i have a text file with
today is today but
tomorrow is today tomorrow
then using maps how can i keep track of the words that are repeated? and on which line it repeats?
so far i have each string in the file read in as a temp and it is stored in the following way:
map<string,int> storage;
int count = 1 // for the first line of the file
if(infile.is_open()){
while( !infile.eof() ){
getline(in, line);
istringstream my_string(line);
while(my_string.good()){
string temp;
my_string >> temp;
storage[temp] = count
}
count++;// so that every string read in the next line will be recorded as that line.
}
}
map<string,int>::iterator m;
for(int m = storage.begin(); m!= storage.end(); m++){
out<<m->first<<": "<<"line "<<m->second<<endl;
}
right now the output is just
but: line 1
is: line 2
today: line 2
tomorrow: line 2
But instead..
it should print out(no repeating strings):
today : line 1 occurred 2 times, line 2 occurred 1 time.
is: line 1 occurred 1 time, line 2 occurred 1 time.
but: line 1 occurred 1 time.
tomorrow: line 2 occurred 2 times.
Note: the order of the string does not matter.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
