Problems with saving output to outputFile.

[steady citrus]

So basically my program should read from the input file, edit the text according to given commands and save the output (without commands) to the outputFile.

There are few commands:
% remove - removes space characters from this line
% remove xyz - removes string from this line
% count - counts space characters in this line
% count xyz - counts strings in this line

Here is the example:

"inputFile"
Hello World !!!% remove
ABCABC% count A

"outputFile"
HelloWorld!!!
A: 2

as u can see only the result is saved to the output without % and command

And the problem with my project is that it does save things only before '%' character and I dont know why it doesnt save edited text.

I sent 2 pictures with my function that should both edit and save things.

Any help will be appreciated!

I used structures to store text, command, and argument

Here is the whole program code:

[flint adder]

Send the code, maybe upload it to https://gist.github.com/ if it is too large

first thing is, that Param struct makes no sense, just take them as 2 parameters :'D

it just adds a level of abstraction for no particular reason

[flint adder]

could you rename it to .cpp so it gets syntax highlighting?

[steady citrus]

You are right but Im a beginner and i wanted to train structures

[steady citrus]

i will try

[flint adder]

it's fine, but they aren't meant to be used this way

i think its cpp now

is it?

[flint adder]

yeah

And what is the problem?

what is the output vs the expected

[steady citrus]

so the inside of my input file looked like this:

Hello, World% remove
aaa% count a

And the output file like this:

Hello, World
aaa

Expected output file should look like this:

Hello,World
a: 3

i think function void fixText might be a problem but idk whats wrong there

[flint adder]

For

Hello World !!!% remove
ABCABC% count A

It gave me

Hello World !!!
ABCABC

output

[steady citrus]

yea

and expected output should be
HelloWorld!!!
A: 2

[flint adder]

well obviously you don't write the commands so it makes sense, your commands seem to be faulty somewhere

[steady citrus]

i think my algorithm to delete for example space characters is correct but it somehow doesnt save

[flint adder]

did you try debugging your code?

[steady citrus]

nope, i dont really know how to use it properly D :

[steady citrus]

@flint adder hey just wanted to say that i found the mistake, turned out that the commands were saved with the space at the beginning: " remove" instead of "remove" and thats why my function didnt work

!solved
