crack a cipher with string arrays

Sep 7th, 2009

hey guys, I have the assignment to build a program to decode a cryptogram puzzle using provided word tables. for each table the program should print the decoded text generated by that table and the number of actual english words in the decoded text. the encoded text is in the file crypt.txt and its less than 80 characters. the codetables are in codetables.txt and each line contains a tablein the form of an ASCII string and the program should process however many tables there are. the file dict.txt contains the dictionary which the program should use to determine word validity.

I had the program set up to save each table then test all of them at once but decided to change it to read in a table then test it immediatly and output then move onto the next table. but on restructuring it I keep getting logic errors.

please take a look at my code and see what you think, also let me know if you have tips on how I could structure this better.
thanks, i'd appreciate all the help i can get

You have brackets problems which will be impossible to solve until you format your code with consistent indentation. NetBeans and Visual Studio will do that for you. Then start counting brackets and make sure you don't have more ending brackets than starting brackets, or vice versa.

In getTable() , where do you declare crypt ?

thanks guys, I made some changes, got rid of decrypt and now just call get crypt in a loop to reset it, and a few other things. The codetables come in and output correctly but there seems to be a problem with the letter switch in test table and find position. because all the decrypted code comes out the same. Once again I'd appreciate some tips. thanks any tips help a bunch.heres the new improved code

Heres my output, see the decrypted sections are the same so the problem must be in findposition I just don't see it.

mmm, see this part at line 92

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
   char letterToLookup = crypt[i];
   letPos = findPositionOf ( letterToLookup, table );
   crypt[ i ] = table[ letPos ];
   char letterToLookup = crypt[i];
   letPos = findPositionOf ( letterToLookup, table );
   crypt[ i ] = table[ letPos ];

shouldn't you use crypt[ i ] = alpha[ letPos ]; ??

This is what I think you trying to do
crypted[0]= !
So you look it up in the table using findPos and return an index
lets say:
table = $%! // so " ! " is the 3rd letter in an ALPHABET
so doing crypt[i] = table[letPos]; leaves crypt UNCHANGED

Instead

crypt[ i ] = alpha[ letPos ];

would change crypt[0] to the letter in the final alphabet
that is

alpha = abc
table = $%!

so '!' will correspond to letter c in the final alphabet

I actually edited your code an it ended like this its still a work in progress but I didnt want it to be irrecognizable to you

as a final word you should really put effort in your code design
the first time you post it, it was very hard to see what was happening try not to be resigned with code that compiles you look foward to nice code too
