How to get character count
-
Hi all. How can i get a count of the characters present in a CString. i.e For ex: CString str = Sample("10,20,30,40,50"); I want to get the "," character count i.e 5 Any idea Thanks Raj
What's about this:
int GetCommaCount(const CString &str)
{
int count = 0;
for(int pos = 0; pos < str.GetLength(); pos++)
{
if (str[pos] == _T(','))
count++;
}
return count;

std::count_ifis another method. Something likebool is_comma(char c)
{
return c == ',';
}std::string s = "1,2,3,4";
int count = std::count_if(s.begin(), s.end(), is_comma);
Edit for clarification: This algorithm can of course be applied to a CString as well using the GetBuffer() member.

If you use the
CStringTclass you can do it via the SpanIncluding()[^] method.It's time for a new signature.
It's not so true because, as the MSDN documentation says, SpanIncluding returns an empty substring if the first character in the string is not in the specified set.

Assuming your string is
CString str = _T("Sample(10,20,30,40,50)");
Then
int start = -1;
int count = 0;
while ( (start = str.Find(_T(','), start + 1)) != -1)

Of course you don't need
GetBuffer:#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
bool is_comma(TCHAR c)
{
return c==_T(',');
}LPCTSTR beg = (LPCTSTR) str;
LPCTSTR end = beg + str.GetLength();
int result = count_if(beg, end, is_comma);:)

You can use the CString::Tokenize[^] method by specifying "," as the token delimiter. You can get the count by incrementing a variable in the while loop in the example in the above link.
