Question

You are given a file, “names.data”, consisting of several students’ names in the following form: lastName, firstName middleName (Note that a student may not have a middle name, but also that individual parts of the name will contain no spaces). Write a program that reads in each name from the file, converts each name to the following, and displays it: firstName middleName lastName Your program must read in the entire name into one string variable. In addition, your program must contain one user-defined function that takes the string variable that contains the name, and returns a string that contains the altered name.

global variables are not allowed to be used.

Explanation / Answer

This below script will as per given problem statement and perform the string alternation using string alter function.

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <string.h>
#include <iomanip>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;

string alter_string(string s)
{
    return s.replace(8,10,"just a");
}
int main()
{
    const char* filename = "C:\Users\jnarasim\Desktop\Names.txt";
    ifstream inFile(filename);
    ifstream inFile1(filename);

    int count = 0;
    string name;
    if(!inFile)
    {
        cout <<"Failed to open file" << filename;
        return 1;
    }
    cout<<"fisrtName   middleName   laseName:"<<endl;
    while(!inFile.eof())
    {
        getline(inFile, name);
        cout << name <<endl;
    }

    while(!inFile1.eof())
    {
        getline(inFile1, name);
        cout <<"After Altering String Name is: "<<alter_string(name)<<endl;
    }

    inFile.close();

return 0;
}
