Question

i need help with this program:

i am counting words and numbers in a text file.

The input is one text file, with words and integers, separated by any other symbols including spaces, commas, period,
parentheses and carriage returns. Keep in mind there can be be multiple separators together (e.g. many spaces, many
commas together).

the cpp line below is my own work, i can get number of numbers right but number of words wrong.

for example: input1.txt has 6 words but my word count is 5

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
   // enter file name
   string filename;
   cout << "enter a file name: ";
   cin >> filename;
  
   // open file
   ifstream fin (filename.c_str());
  
   // notify a failed open
   if(fin.fail())
   {
       cout << "file cannot be opened" << endl;
   }
  
   char ch;                            // track character stream in
   char word[30];                       // track a word
   char num[10];                       // track a sequence of numbers
   int count1 = 0; int count2 = 0;       // count1 is word count, count2 is number count
   int w = 0;                           // index for word
   int n = 0;                           // index for number
  
   //get 1st character
   fin.get(ch);
  
   // get the rest character
   while (!fin.eof())
   {
       cout << ch;
      
       //if the character is alpha, index +1 and get another character
       if (isalpha(ch))
       {
           word[w] = ch;
           w++;
           fin.get(ch);
       }
      
       // if the character is digit, index +1 and get another character
       else if (isdigit(ch))
       {
           num[n] = ch;
           n++;
           fin.get(ch);
       }
      
       // if character is neither alpha nor digit, if the word index > 0 or number index >0 then word count or number count +1, reset w and n
       // get another character
       else
       {
           if(w>0) count1++;
           else if (n>0) count2++;
           w=0;
           n=0;
           fin.get(ch);
       }
   }
  
   //output result
   cout << endl;
   cout << "words=" << count1 << " numbers=" << count2 << endl;
  
  
   // close file
   fin.close();
  
   return 0;
}

input1.txt:

The cat is [there]
10 20 3.1416,,1000
another cat

Explanation / Answer

#include<fstream>
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ifstream inFile; //Declares a file stream object
    string fileName;
    string word;
    int count = 0;

    cout << "Please enter the file name ";
    getline(cin,fileName);

    inFile.open(fileName.c_str());

    while(!inFile.eof())
    {             
        inFile >> word;
        count++;
    }

    cout << "Number of words in file is " << count;
    inFile.close();

    cin.get();
    return 0;
}
