Focusing on Difficult Letters

When you are playing Scrabble or Words with Friends, there are some letters that are more challenging than others. You might go running to the dictionary to find words starting with X or words starting with Z. When you have access to a helpful word list, you will make short work of these challenges.

Words Starting With X

When most people think about a word that begins with x, they consider the xylophone. The xylo— portion comes from the Greek word xylon which means wood. There are several wood-related words that will impress your friends. Xylophage, xylograph and xylophilous are a few of your choices.
Words with xeno— are another powerful X group. These come from the Greek word xenos which means a foreigner or stranger. People who study potential extraterrestrials are known as xenologists. Xenophobia is the fear of those who are foreign.

Words Starting With Z

There are some obvious short word that start with Z. Zero and zoo come to mind. However, zoo is short for a zoological park. Zoology is the study of animal life. It is a combination of the Greek words for an animal and study. Knowing zoo— is a common scientific prefix leads to some interesting words like zoogeography, zoopsychology and zootherapy. Of course, shorter words like zinc, zebra and zigzag are also helpful.

I’m trying to write a program that would take a text file and searched for every word starting with a user specified letter. i.e. user inputs ‘a’ the program searches through the text file and outputs every word starting with that letter and displays the line number where each appeared and sentence number.

My idea about doing this was that I read every line into a string through getline() so I can easily track the line numbers. Then use a for loop to go through each line searching for words that start with that letter and also keeping track of periods, exclamation marks etc… to get a count of the sentences. If anyone knows of a better way do tell, as I imagine this isn’t the best way.

Here’s the code I have till now, but something is not right (I only pasted the relevant parts):

  1. char letter; //user inputed char to search for
  2. int linenum;
  3. string line;
  4. ifstream fin(«file.txt»);
  5.  
  6. if(fin.is_open())
  7.     {    
  8.         while(!fin.eof())
  9.         {
  10.             getline(fin, line);
  11.             len = line.length();
  12.             ++linenum;
  13.             for(int i = 0; i <= len; i++)
  14.             {
  15.                 if(i == 0 && line[i] == letter)
  16.                 {
  17.                     cout << linenum << «tt»;
  18.                     for(; i <= len; i++)
  19.                     {
  20.                         if(line[i] != ‘ ‘ || ‘!’ || ‘?’ || ‘.’)
  21.                         {
  22.                             cout << line[i];
  23.                         }
  24.                         else
  25.                         {
  26.                             break;
  27.                         }
  28.                     }
  29.                     cout << endl;
  30.                 }
  31.  
  32.                 if(i != 0 && i <= len && line[i] == letter && line[i-1] == ‘ ‘ || ‘!’ || ‘?’ || ‘.’)
  33.                 {
  34.                     cout << linenum << «tt»;
  35.                     for(; i < len; i++)
  36.                     {
  37.                         if(line[i] != ‘ ‘ || ‘!’ || ‘?’ || ‘.’)
  38.                         {
  39.                             cout << line[i];
  40.                         }
  41.                         else
  42.                         {
  43.                             break;
  44.                         }
  45.  
  46.                     }
  47.                     cout << endl;
  48.                 }
  49.             }
  50.         }
  51.         fin.close();
  52.     }
  53.  

The ifs (‘ ‘ || ‘!’ || ‘.’) don’t seem to be working at all. Any help would be appreciated.
btw, I have two loops — one for the first word in the line and one for the rest, because I don’t know how to check the previous line if i had any periods, whitespaces,…

I’m trying to use grep to look through a file, and find words starting with the lowercase letter «s». Snippet of the file:

sjpope   pts/2    161.133.12.95    10:21am 43.00s  0.13s  0.01s  man bc
rmschalk pts/3    161.133.9.147    10:22am  1.00s  0.10s  0.02s  vi testb
jntrudel pts/4    161.133.9.11     10:23am  2.00s  0.09s  0.00s  vi testb
tjbanks  pts/5    161.133.9.70     10:41am  8.00s  0.06s  0.04s  -ksh

I want the output to have line stating with «s».

For all these that want to search for words starting with given letter not for lines this one-liner will do:

grep -E 'bs' file.txt # all words starting with s
grep -E 'sb' file.txt # all words ending with s

I know that this is non standard grep behavior (b regex anchor that means word break is not in extended regular expressions standard) but it works on most modern systems.

Using standard grep you can search words starting with s, using < (start of word) and >(end of word) regexp:

grep '<[s][[:alpha:]]*>' file.txt # Words starting with s

Also if you want to output the lines starting with s, you just have to use the ^ character:

grep '^s' file.txt # Lines starting with s

If you want to search for a particular word/string in a line you can try the following. this will extract the whole word starting with s.

If you want to search within a file then you can try the following.

egrep -o 'bsw*' sameple.txt 

If you want to save the result in a new file then you can try the following.

egrep -o 'bsw*' sample.txt > newsample.txt

Have you tried using a regular expression? The ^ character will search from the beginning of the string. In your particular case, for example, if you want all results that start with a lowercase ‘s’:

    cat file | grep ^s

or simply

grep ^s file
