Issue printing .txt file in program C++ - c++

Question

I have a program that takes a text file and list the words and how many times they are used. It works but I can't figure out how to print out the text file. Above the sorted words and how many times they appear, I want to display the text from the file. How would I do that? I tried several things but it either does nothing or screws up the rest of the code saying there are 0 unique words. And lastly how would print out the results so they are more ... table -ish...
/*
Something like this:
Word: [equal spaces] Count:
ask [equal spaces] 5
anger [equal spaces] 3
*/
Thank you for any assistance you can provide me.
#include <iterator>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
string getNextToken(istream &in) {
char c;
string ans="";
c=in.get();
while(!isalpha(c) && !in.eof())//cleaning non letter charachters
{
c=in.get();
}
while(isalpha(c))
{
ans.push_back(tolower(c));
c=in.get();
}
return ans;
}
string ask(string msg) {
string ans;
cout << msg;
getline(cin, ans);
return ans;
}
int main() {
map<string,int> words;
ifstream fin( ask("Enter file name: ").c_str() ); //open an input stream
if( fin.fail() ) {
cerr << "An error occurred trying to open a stream to the file!\n";
return 1;
}
string s;
string empty ="";
while((s=getNextToken(fin))!=empty )
++words[s];
while(fin.good())
cout << (char)fin.get(); // I am not sure where to put this. Or if it is correct
cout << "" << endl;
cout << "There are " << words.size() << " unique words in the above text." << endl;
cout << "----------------------------------------------------------------" << endl;
cout << " " << endl;
for(map<string,int>::iterator iter = words.begin(); iter!=words.end(); ++iter)
cout<<iter->first<<' '<<iter->second<<endl;
return 0;
}

Answer 1

I would just use a simple for loop like this:
for (int x = 0; x < words.size(); x++){
cout >> words[x] << endl
}
And then modify from there to get your desired format.
I did notice though, that you are not returning a value for main in all paths of the above code, which should give a compile time error, but did not when I compiled it, for some reason. I would remind you that you need to have a return value for main. Unless I am misunderstanding your question. I could not run this program without creating a sample file, and so could not test it without extra work. But the program did compile. I did not expect to, because of the missing return statement. If you can make this reproduce your error without me having to create a sample file of words, ei insert the list of words into the code and minimally reproduce the error, I would be able to help you better. As it is, I hope that I helped you.

Something like this should make it:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <unordered_map>
#include <string>
int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
std::string file;
std::cout << "Enter file name: ";
std::cin >> file;
std::fstream in( file.c_str() );
if ( in.good() )
{
std::unordered_map<std::string, int> words;
std::string word;
//Use this to separate your words it could be '\n' or anything else
char cSeparator = ' ';
while ( in >> word )
{
//Print the word
std::cout << word << cSeparator;
++words[word];
}
std::cout << std::endl;
//Headers Word and Count separated by 2 tabs
std::cout << "Word:\t\tCount:" << std::endl;
for ( auto& w : words )
std::cout << w.first << "\t\t" << w.second << std::endl;
}
in.close();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
However this is assuming that the text file only contains the words, if you have other kind of stuff there, you should be able to filter it as you want.
