Hi,
I have to write a program which counts the number of words in a string. but a word like yes!...I need to seperate the yes and !. I have no idea how to do this. This is the code i have written so far
CODE

char * cstr, *p;

  string str ("yes i can! yes yes no no ! s");

  cstr = new char [str.size()+1];
  strcpy (cstr, str.c_str());


  p=strtok (cstr," ");
  while (p!=NULL)
  {
    cout << p << endl;;
    c.add(p);   // counts the number of words by using pointers
    p=strtok(NULL," ");
  //    c.add(p);
  }

  delete[] cstr;

Post your code like this:

When you count how many words in a file or in a string, first you need to know what is a "word"? how is it different from a single character such as ! or letter.

The technique of counting a word is to count the space which separate from the other words.

I understand that words are seperated by space ina string but what if the string is "yes! I did it." There is no space b/t yes and ! so yes! is displayed as one word I have to copune the words and punctuation marks as well. How do i seperate teh word from the punctuationmark.
