Question

In this project we are meant to be taking control line arguments and then input and outputting the translation (in either pigLatin english or rot13). Here is the code I have so far, but when I try to run it, it doesnt output anything, I think it is because of how I am reading the input, I am meant to take any non-letter character and pretend it is a space but I am not sure how.

sample input ;

"The problem of viruses is temporary and will be solved in two years."
– John McAfee, 1988
"Computer viruses are an urban legend."
– Peter Norton, 1988
"I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone. My wish has come true. I no longer
know how to use my telephone." - Bjarne Stroustrup

output would be;
