Why would you need a program to complete it? Surely the CTRL+F and Count would work better in Notepad++

 

Edit: or what @Nefarious Triggertrigger said :shiftyninja:

I always started with pseudocode before going in to real coding. That way I had an idea of what I wanted to achieve. So let's start with that, what do you want the program to do? If you had to do the job yourself rather than creating a program, how would you count how many times a certain word appears?

So what self-driven learning have you undertaken so far?  I ask this because what you're asking is ridiculously easy, and I struggle to accept that you've even tried so far.

Hello! Ηow to create a program in C ++ where it counts how many times appears a specific word in a  txt file? Can someone help me?

The problem with a question like this is we have no idea what's actually blocking you. Have you ever written any C++? Any program in any language? Do you know how to open a file in C++? Do you know how to compare strings?

 

Show us what you've done and what exactly is blocking you from making progress.

I would suggest Regular Expressions. Research MatchCollections with Regular Expressions in .NET. That should allow you to achieve what you want. Hopefully, that points you in the right direction.

Yes regex is the solution, if you ever need to parse xml I highly suggest using regex :woot: 

But seriously, don't parse xml with regex, if you want to spend a whole summer debugging code go for it but I wouldn't recommend it, regex isn't designed to work well with nested tags neither is it made to do everything text related even when it could be done with a simpel for loop. Regex is useful as example if you don't want to search for just a word but for all words that start with neo and end with win.

 

He asked about c++ that's quite a bit different from .NET and all of it's libraries available for it.

.NET is like walking with 2 legs but c++ is not even like walking with 1 leg, it's more like having no legs at all in my experience :cry:

Sorry, I was reading in a hurry yesterday. I was trying to help out and work on a project for work at the same time. Probably wasn't the best idea. Thank you for your response! I agree about c++ btw. It can be rough!

    • Billionaire slams 'Tesla Cultists' for praising Robotaxi, says it's 5+ years behind Waymo by David Uzondu Image via Depositphotos.com The Tesla Robotaxi program has kicked off in Austin, Texas, and reactions are pouring in from all corners of the internet. A select group of investors and influencers have been invited to try the service, which operates within a limited area of South Austin for a price of $4.20. While the vehicles are operating without anyone in the driver's seat, the program has specific rules for this pilot phase, including a human "safety monitor" who rides along in the passenger seat just in case things go sideways. Of course, the launch did not go unnoticed by Tesla's most vocal and well-funded critic, Dan O'Dowd. O'Dowd is the billionaire founder of a group called The Dawn Project, which has dedicated itself to highlighting what it calls critical safety failures in Tesla's Full Self-Driving software. He refers to himself as an expert in creating "unhackable" software for military and aerospace clients, and ran for U.S. Senate back in 2022 on a single-issue platform: to "make computers safe for humanity" by banning Tesla's FSD. In 2023, He was banned from advertising on X after He made promoted posts that show Tesla FSD among other things, failing to stop at Stop signs. Last year, his group, The Dawn Project, paid for a Super Bowl ad last year, where a Tesla equipped with FSD did not act on a child-sized mannequin in the road. That commercial ends with a message, urging parents to "boycott Tesla to keep your kids safe." Today, O'Dowd took to X to slam the launch of the Robotaxi service, saying the "Tesla Cultists are celebrating victory" over a system he believes is years behind the competition (especially Waymo). He pointed out that with only fourteen cars operating for half the day, the system was already making significant errors, a rate he claims is consistent with community-tracked FSD data. The videos shared by the creators (Rob Maurer and Ed Niedermeyer), O'Dowd mentioned in his post, appear questionable, depending on your perspective. In Maurer's video, a trip that was otherwise smooth had a few unnerving seconds of the vehicle slightly swerving into the wrong lane, correcting itself, swerving again, correcting itself, and then finally settling. The other video from Ed Niedermeyer shows something entirely different. Niedermeyer captured a Tesla Robotaxi approaching an "extensive crime scene" with multiple police vehicles parked on the side of the road. On his personal Bluesky account (Ed stopped posting on X late last year, in protest of Musk), He claims the Tesla braked hard twice for no clear reason. In his commentary, Niedermeyer argued the car "shouldn't react to any of these police vehicles," and that it was concerning how it reacted to some but not others, before stopping in the "middle of the road instead of defaulting to a minimal risk condition."
    • Arch is now also using Wayland as the default session for Plasma 6.4, with X11 session becoming optional (so upgrading to Plasma 6.4 on X11 Arch might need manual intervention). It's been well over a decade in making, but I guess the time for Wayland to be the default is finally upon us.

    • What about child accounts (which I suspect actually runs on Workspace for Education)? I'm gonna try this out...
