[RESOLVED] string question

[Aashi]

hi all,

suppose i've a string that has abc like:

string str;
cin>>str;        // user enters abc
for(int i=0; i<str.length(); i++)
{
          //compare if str has 'a'
         // loop continues till find all character by character
}

is it possible with string class to find character by character?


thanks..

Yes. Take a look at the interface of std::string.

As an aside to the question and responses already given, if you intend "cin >> str;" to put the whole line into str, then you might want to consider using

std::getline(std::cin, str);

since

cin >> str;

will not put the whole line into str (it will only copy the first block of characters until it hits some white space) whereas std::getline will put the whole line into str.

Your description of what you want to do is not clear.

Let's start with this:

"abcabcabcda"

So what do you want to do with this string?

i want to make a logic for converting infix expression to postfix expression: for this i need to have stack and string. I can use char array for this, i just want to try with string. So, how can i compare a character with a string having abc/e+ ??

thanks...
