    Hi Prasad, Code as no effect its adding all the words. void getoff(char *fname) { ifstream fin; fin.open(fname,ios::in); int wsize; string stemp; //Loops till the end of the file. while(!fin.eof()) { fin >> word; strlwr(word); wsize = strlen(word); offset=fin.tellg(); offset = offset - wsize + 1; //Insert Words and its offset in to Map stemp = word; for(int j =0; j < wsize; j++) { if (isalpha(stemp[j])) { FMap[stemp] = offset; } } } fin.close(); }

    Here change the for loop as below,

    int nIndex = 0;
    for (int j = 0; j < wsize; j++)
    {
    if (isalpha(stemp[j]))
    {
    FMap[nIndex++] = stemp[j]; /* Not FMap[stemp] = offset */
    }
    }
    FMap[nIndex] = '\0'; /* NULL termination */

      I copied and pasted but still nt working :( again the same output for(int j =0; j<=wsize; j++) { if ( ((stemp[j] >= 65) && (stemp[j] <= 90)) || ((stemp[j] >= 97) && (stemp[j] <= 122)) ) { FMap[stemp]=offset; } }

      your condition checking is correct but the logic inside the loop is wrong, i just posted the reply, or refer below

      int nIndex = 0;
      for (int j = 0; j < wsize; j++) /* Not j <= wsize */
      {
      if (((stemp[j] >= 65) && (stemp[j] <= 90)) ||
      ((stemp[j] >= 97) && (stemp[j] <= 122)))
      {
      FMap[nIndex++] = stemp[j]; /* Not FMap[stemp] = offset */
      }
      }
      FMap[nIndex] = '\0'; /* NULL termination */

        appu i made changes but i am getting error for this lines FMap[nIndex++] = stemp[j]; /* Not FMap[stemp] = offset */ error C2679: binary '[' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type 'int' (or there is no acceptable conversion) FMap[nIndex] = '\0'; /* NULL termination */ error C2679: binary '[' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type 'int' (or there is no acceptable conversion) Now the problem with adding values to Map.

          Is FMap char[] or what? :confused: I don't understand what you are trying to do inside the loop, if FMAp is not a char[] or char* ?

              Thanks Cedric Moonen for the response. ASCII values A – 65 to Z – 90 & a – 97 to z – 122. But hw to check them in the condition ???

                Look carefully at

                for(int j =0; j < wsize; j++)
                {
                if (isalpha(stemp[j]))
                {
                FMap[stemp] = offset;
                }
                }

                Do you really want to add an entry to FMap every time you find an alpha character, or everytime you find a word with ALL the characters alpha?

                  So FMap is a map to hold string and int, and you want to store words which has only alphates. If this is the senario you are not supposed to insert an item in the map for every charecter checking. Ok here are my questions? 1) How you are diffentiating the words 2) Do you want to remove the special and numeric values and store the string? or totally discarding the string? 3) Is the int value in the needed, whts it going to do if you just want to store the alpha words? -- modified at 5:22 Friday 30th March, 2007 Here is the idea to proceed, 1)Read a word from the file 2)check for any special or numeric chars in the word, if you found any break the loop and goto step 4. 3)If all the chars are alpha then insert in the map 4)continue the above steps untill the end All remaing is only the logical part, think and proceed. -- modified at 5:25 Friday 30th March, 2007

                    You can use, isalpha() API or You can check the chars are alphabet or not.

                    if (((stemp[j] >= 65) && (stemp[j] <= 90) ||
                    ((stemp[j] >= 97) && (stemp[j] <= 122)))
                    /* Alphabet (A-Z) or (a-z) */
                    else
                    /* Special or Numeric */

                        Appu still the problem is there not got the solution still..... i changed the code as below now it only checks for the 1st character if that is valid it will add it to map .. if ( ((stemp[0] >= 65) && (stemp[0] <= 90)) || ((stemp[0] >= 97) && (stemp[0] <= 122)) ) FMap[stemp]=offset; but hwy to check if there is any special character or number in between and hw to add them??

                              somehow you retrieve the word and put it in stemp then,

                              while(..)
                              {

                              for (j = 0; j < wsize; j++)
                              {
                              if (!(((stemp[0] >= 65) && (stemp[0] <= 90)) ||
                              ((stemp[0] >= 97) && (stemp[0] <= 122))))
                              {
                              bValid = false;
                              break;
                              }
                              }
                              if (bValid)
                              FMap[stemp] = offset;

                                yes, i totally agree, i was just beating a bit the worst code author :rolleyes:

                                  somehow you retrieve the word and put it in stemp then,

                                  while(..)
                                  {
                                  bool bValid = true;
                                  for (j = 0; j < wsize; j++)
                                  {
                                  if (!(((stemp[0] >= 65) && (stemp[0] <= 90)) ||
                                  ((stemp[0] >= 97) && (stemp[0] <= 122))))
                                  {
                                  bValid = false;
                                  break;
                                  }
                                  }
                                  if (bValid)
                                  FMap[stemp] = offset;
                                  }

                                  Hi Appu,, Thank you very much, code is working i made the changes as below while(!fin.eof()) { fin >> word; //strlwr(word); wsize = strlen(word); offset=fin.tellg(); offset = offset - wsize + 1; //Insert Words and its offset in to Map stemp = word; bool bValid = true; for (int j = 0; j < wsize; j++) { if (!isalpha(stemp[j])) { bValid = false; break; } } if (bValid) FMap[stemp] = offset; }

                                    Hi Prasad, Thank you very much for the help. i made changes a below and its working now perfectly. i had never used isalpha so i was with ascii code, thanks for the info. while(!fin.eof()) { fin >> word; //strlwr(word); wsize = strlen(word); offset=fin.tellg(); offset = offset - wsize + 1; //Insert Words and its offset in to Map stemp = word; bool bValid = true; for (int j = 0; j < wsize; j++) { if (!isalpha(stemp[j])) { bValid = false; break; } } if (bValid) FMap[stemp] = offset; }

                                      Hello All, I am trying a read text file and extracting words from it and adding to a map. I want to add only valid words and eliminate numbers and special character words and then add it to map. Invalid words like 1word , hello# , t2o etc … so I want to eliminate all the number and special characters. Can anyone please help me with this …. strlwr(word); wsize = strlen(word); stemp = word; for(int j =0; j<=wsize; j++) { if ( stemp[j] == '.' || stemp[j] == ';' || stemp[j] == '*' || stemp[j] == '#' && stemp[j] == '!' || stemp[j] == '@' || stemp[j] == '$' || stemp[j] == '%' && stemp[j] == '^' || stemp[j] == '&' || stemp[j] == '(' || stemp[j] == ')' && stemp[j] == '-' || stemp[j] == '+' || stemp[j] == '/' ) break; else FMap[stemp]=offset; } This conditions are very lengthy, is there any way I can reduce it by checking the ASCII value and add them to MAP. Thanking you, Suresh HC.

                                        OP wanted to know if given character is in range a-z or A-Z. I wonder, why you have suggested this function ?

                                          Look carefully at

                                          for(int j =0; j < wsize; j++)
                                          {
                                          if (isalpha(stemp[j]))
                                          {
                                          FMap[stemp] = offset;
                                          }
                                          }

                                          Do you really want to add an entry to FMap every time you find an alpha character, or everytime you find a word with ALL the characters alpha?
