Read string in file and add count

van1684 (4)
Hi i'm looking for a program to read a file to look for strings and add a count.

kill.log in the same folder as program

player1 was killed by player2

player2 was killed by player1

4 strings
player1 was for "d1" add count
player2 was for "d2" add count
by player1 for "k1" add count
by player2 for "k2" add count

cout << Player 1 kills: << k1 << deaths << d1;
cout << Player 2 kills: << k2 << deaths << d2;


add up each time. Thanks guys.

i think it would be better if you try to write it yourself first then ask for help.

Ok so I worked on most of it but there's one problem. if it picks up d1, it won't add k1, seems like it ends the line.

input.txt would have one line with "The Governor was killed by The Governor"

picks up d1 for The Governor was but not k1 for by The Governor

Here is the code, I don't know how to put it in that blue box.

Please use code tags when posting code, to make it more readable.

Sorry I apologized beforehand but found out how to add the code box.

Pay attention to the values returned from the function. 0 is a valid position for string::find to return.

my string::find returns 0 or 1. When it's 1 it increases my variable but the problem is that it doesn't read the second half of the sentence. My output is The Governor killed 0 noobs and died 1 times!!

The line in the file is The Governor was killed by The Governor.

It should output The Governor killed 1 noobs and died 1 times!!

Please guide me a little more.

No, it does not. Please reference the link I posted earlier which you have conveniently ignored.
