I need to parse the following, which is stored in a variable, and extract only Names. These names should be placed in a new variable (all together separated by dot (.)). Any ideas?
Name : Mike Anderson\n
Age : 43\n
Name : Andie Jameson\n
Age : 35\n
The expected output should be a variable with content: Mike Anderson.Andie Jameson
Thank you.
There will be many useful methods for your situation.
This code is just one of them. I used std::istringstream, string::find().
int main()
{
//Originally, each data is from your source.
//but, this is just sample.
std::istringstream input;
input.str("Name : Mike Anderson\nAge : 43\nName : Andie Jameson\nAge : 35\n");
//to find pattern
std::string name_pattern = "Name : ";
std::size_t found = std::string::npos;
for (std::string line; std::getline(input, line); ) {
found = line.find(name_pattern);
if (found!=std::string::npos)
{
//write on file for 'directory'
std::string only_name(line, found + name_pattern.length() );
std::cout << "\nName : " << only_name;
continue;
}
}
getchar();
}
This code will print below like,

So I'm a bit stumped on this, I'm reading a file with two types of lines that contain data, and they are started by a number followed by a comma. I need a way in order to match the lines with the same starting digit into a single line and output that. How would I even get started?
I'd do this by reading each line in two parts: the stuff before the comma, and the stuff after it.
Then I'd have a map (or unordered_map) with the value before the comma as the key, and the rest as the value associated with it.
std::map<std::string, std::string> data;
std::string key, value;
while (std::getline(infile, key, ',')) {
std::getline(infile, value);
data[key] += value;
}
Then (presumably) you'd want to write out the values:
for (auto const &v : data)
std::cout << v.first << ":" << v.second << "\n";

I have read these two questions already:
Remove spaces from std::string in C++
remove whitespace in std::string
For some reason, I can never get the solutions to work correctly. In my program, I collect input from the user and pass it to an std::string. From there, I want to remove all of the spaces in it. For example, if the user inputs "3 + 2", I would like it to change to "3+2".
What happens is, whatever is before the first string is kept. Here is my program:
#include <iostream>
std::string GetUserInput() {
std::cout << "Please enter what you would like to calculate: ";
std::string UserInput;
std::cin >> UserInput;
return UserInput;
}
int PerformCalculation(std::string Input) {
Input.erase(std::remove_if(Input.begin(), Input.end(), ::isspace), Input.end());
std::cout << Input;
return 0;
}
int main() {
std::string CalculationToBePerformed = GetUserInput();
int Solution = PerformCalculation(CalculationToBePerformed);
return 0;
}
So when I run this program and type in "3 + 2", the output is "3".
Here is my console:
Please enter what you would like to calculate: 3 + 2
3
Process finished with exit code 0
I cannot figure out how to resolve this. I even tried using a solution that involved using a regex to remove all the \s characters, and that gave me the same issue.
To read the complete line (up to terminating \n), you need to use e.g. std::getline(std::cin, UserInput);. Otherwise, you're currently reading text up to first whitespace character.

I have a string which represents a file name, and I want to remove the extension, so erasing everything after the ".". What would be the best way ? Thanks.
Below code can be used for the same..
int npos = str.find_last_of('.');
str = str.substring(0,npos);
If you're on Windows, the following function will do the trick:
std::wstring StripFileExtension(std::wstring fileName)
{
WCHAR tempBuffer[MAX_PATH];
if (fileName.empty())
{
return TEXT("");
}
wcscpy(tempBuffer, fileName.c_str());
PathRemoveExtension(tempBuffer);
return tempBuffer;
}
you can use std::string , and copy each character to new string
std::string name = "filename.jpg", newname ="";
int thelength = 0;
for(int i=name.length();i>0;i--){
if( name[i] != '.'){
thelength++;
}
else{
break;
}
}
for(int i=0;i<(name.length()-thelength);i++){
newname+=name[i];
}

I need to parse the following file so it takes the item as a string then skip the # sign and then take the price as a float.
text file:
hammer#9.95
saw#20.15
shovel#35.40
how would I go about doing this?
In case when you have std::string in presented format you could use something like this:
std::string test {"test#5.23"};
std::cout << std::stof(std::string{test.begin() + test.rfind('#') + 1, test.end()});
Note that std::stof is C++11 function
Read the file line by line into a string. Find # and parse second part as float.
std::ifstream file("input.txt");
for (std::string line; std::getline(file, line); )
{
auto sharp = line.find('#'); // std::size_t sharp = ...
if (sharp != std::string::npos)
{
std::string name(line, 0, sharp);
line.erase(0, sharp+1);
float price = std::stof(line);
std::cout << name << " " << price << "\n";
}
}
Note: I didn't some error checking, do them yourself as an exercise. and also you should know about std::string, std::ifstream, std::getline and std::stof.

I am having memory trouble with my code, and figured out that my code was being read wrong. For example the last value is adding numbers, not sure why. Also the names aren't coming out right.
This is what the output is looking like:
4101,BRAEBURN02.07682e-3172.07691e-317
4021,DELICIOUS02.07682e-3172.07691e-317
4020,DELICIOUS02.07682e-3172.07691e-317

4016,DELICIOUS02.07682e-3172.07691e-317
4167,DELICIOUS02.07682e-3172.07691e-317
4124,EMPIRE,1,1.14,145.202.07682e-3172.07691e-317
4129,FUJI02.07682e-3172.07691e-317
4131,FUJI02.07682e-3172.07691e-317
As you can see the Empire was separated properly with the exception of the the last value.
Here's my code: the cout part was just for my personal use to see if the values were being inputted properly.
int main()
{
string name;
double price;
int by_weight;
double inventory;
int plu_code;
ifstream infile;
infile.open("inventory.csv");
while(!infile.eof())
{
stringstream ss;
string line = "";
getline(infile,line);
Tokenizer tok(line, ",");
ss << line;
ss >> plu_code >> name >> by_weight >> price >>inventory;
cout << plu_code<<"" <<name<<"" << by_weight<<"" << price <<""<<inventory<<"\n";
table[plu_code] = new Product(plu_code, name,by_weight, price,inventory);
numProducts++;
}
return 0;
}
The Empire line works because it's the only one whose name contains no whitespace. When you read strings from a stream, they are delimited by whitespace, so you only get the first word. If there are more words after that, then reading a double or other numeric type will fail because the stream is still pointing at non-numeric characters. You are not testing that your input operations succeeded, but it should have been obvious from your output.
I'm not sure what effect your Tokeniser class is supposed to have here. But perhaps have a look at this SO question for tokenising commas out of the stream. You can use a single getline call with a comma delimiter to read the name, and then normal << operator for the others.
[Edit] In fact, after cleaning up your question layout I notice that the Empire line doesn't work. It's reading the rest of the line as the name, and then still outputting uninitialised values. Which suggests to me your Tokeniser doesn't do anything at all.
