Hi,

I search everywhere and i didn't found anything good.

Do you know how to search a string inside a .txt file ??

Like, this is a text file:
--------------------------
i love mc donalds food
i hate my brother
i want a answer
a good answer
--------------------------
How can i search by one of this phrases and output it in the screen with a c++ program !?

[fire_]

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
	string str;
	string str2 = "hate";
	int i;
	ifstream file ("file.txt");
	for (int index=1; index<=4; index++) {
		getline (file, str);
		i = str.find(str2);
		cout << "Line " << index << ": ";
		if(i != string::npos)
			cout << "Word found\n";
		else cout << "Word not  found\n";
	}
	cin.get();
	file.close();
}

Try this. You can change searching word for by changing str2 value. If you want to check more lines in file just change 10 line with for example this:

for (int index=1; index<=8; index++) {

This will check 8 lines. Hope you undestood ;)

I'm sure the OP will thank you for doing his homework for him, even though it's not 100% correct. But I'll give you a B+ for good effort.

Homework ??

This is not my homework, i'm not learning c++ with anybody.

I learn alone, at home, with internet and guys like _fire...

--------------------------------------------

How can i set the file where the program is going to search the string ??

thank you

In this line

ifstream file ("file.txt");

replace file.txt with any other file. Just don't forget to put file name in ""

i gotta problem.

i say to search "hate";

the file is:

-------------

adcadc
dcadca
cdadcad
hate

---------

( 5 lines )

but i say him to search in 10 lines. He says
--------------
not found
not found
not found
not found
found
found
found
found
found
found

Weird...

That's because there is no lines after line 5. That means program will search in line 5 again and again...

Add these lines:

string str3;

After line 7 and these

if (str == str3)
	break;
str3 = str;

after line 11. Sorry i'm a beginner and that the best what i could work out.

ADD, not rewrite all !

P.S. do you have msn ?

You need to use append openmode if you want to add.

ofstream file ("file.txt", ios::app)

Seperate openmodes with |

No i don't have MSN messenger if you were talking about it.
