CString count

rdop

Hi All How can i ReversFind and count number of words?I have CString name="agsdfgggggg" how can count and cut these part "gggggg" from name. I mean i want to show this CString name="agsdfgggggg" to CString name="agsdf". Can any one help me.

Is "agsdfgggggg" a unique string? Is there some pattern? Does it always have the same number of characters? If you give us a bit more information we may be able to give you better advice than CString::Left(6) for example.

how to count number 6?

Wow, I have no clue what you are talking about but the answer is probably liquid nitrogen[^] Ok, serriously now. What does ReverseFind have to do with your question ? Why are you talking about words (I only see letters in your string) ? Is your string always "agsdfgggggg" and you always need to remove "gggggg" ? In which case, I don't see why you are asking the question :doh:

Take a look at the MSDN pages for CString(). This class contains many useful functions, one of which will probably solve your problem.

I don't blame you. :-D

What about

CString name = "agsdfgggggg";
int l = name.GetLength();

int count=0;

while (l-- > 0)
{
if ( name[l] != 'g') break;
count++;
}

if ( count > 0 )
{
name = name.Left(name.GetLength() - count);
}

? [added] Sorry for the poor answer, I didn't realize that correct one is LIQUID NITROGEN. [/added] :)

Thanks for responce.

Let me restate your requirement. You want the repeating character at the end to be removed. If this requirement is correct, here is what you can do. name = name.TrimRight(name[name.GetLength() - 1]); Of course, you will need error checking, which I have omitted.

Have you ever tried to use agsdf when it was next to gggggg? It's difficult at best.
