C Programmers! I need help bad

[IH8PunkRok]

my assignment was to make a program that opens a program designated by the user. then print out that document and count the number of lines, commas, capital, "the"s, and numbers.

i am having trouble with my numbers. i am always counting under for some reason an i cant figure out why

}

fclose(counts);

}

system("pause");

return 0;

}

i have my number counting section highlighted in blue.

please help guys i cannot figure this out

we are using ASCII decimal characters.

also forgive me for the autformat. it doesnt look like that in my program window

i can helpz

[sven6977]

is this actually C or c++. I just wanna make sure. if its c++ i can help, if not it will just confuse the both of us

if c++ you wanna #include <fstream> so you can pull the file from the user and then you can do your computations from their file using ifile and the extractor command, then use some if statements with counters and you will be all good.

If it is actually c++ i can write out the code for you and it will make more sense than that jargon up there^^^

If not, I apologize for the waste of text lol

If you can't tell by looking at it that this is NOT c++, then you don't know enough to help.

Not to be a dick but it's true.

That is true, but in c++ you can still use that shit and it will still work. I was just thinking that maybe he was getting some bad help from online forums or accidentally looked up the wrong thing. I have 0 experience with C, but a shit ton of C++. And tbh, i didn't read through his entire code. I only made it through his header and noticed he was missing any type of inclusion for a file system.

edit: now looking through his code, i do see his use of the oldstyle file system. I will now leave this thread lol.

Good luck Matt. Sorry I can't help.

OP. you know in linux you can use some simple bash commands to do all this. just saying

grep "the" /path/to/filename|wc
