    why bothering comparing to ascii values, when you can use the characters literal ?

    if (((stemp[j] >= 'a') && (stemp[j] <= 'z') ||
    ((stemp[j] >= 'A') && (stemp[j] <= 'Z')))

        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(..)
        {
        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?
