I am trying to use getline,cin to receive a two word string, and then split the string into two one word strings, must the same way the old text adventures of the 1980's did. However, I can't seem to figure it out. It should look like this:

What shall I do? GO WEST

Main reports that you typed

go for a verb.

west for the noun.

My result is

Main reports that you typed

for a verb.

go west for the noun.

This is the intended code.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

while (death>0){

string answer,verb,noun,separator;

cout << "What shall I do? ";

getline (cin,answer);

for(unsigned int i=0;i<answer.length();i++){ // Convert to Lowercase

answer[i] = tolower(answer[i]);}

// Split answer in 2 variables

size_t i = answer.find(separator);

if(i != string::npos){

size_t y = 0;

if(!answer.empty()){

while(y != i){

verb += answer[y++];

}

y+= separator.length();

while(y != answer.length()){

noun+=answer[y++]; //creating noun string

}

}

cout << "Main reports that you typed " << endl;

cout << verb << " for a verb." << endl;

cout << noun << " for the noun.\n\n" << endl;

}

Any help would be appreciated.

Text file: (short version)

What is the best way to read the text file and it's values into the class ? Descriptions, and values will change, so it can't be static...

This is a sample of an array. I want to condense it, and load everything back into the original array with the empty slots at the end. Maybe a class instead of an array, or another suggestion?

#include <cstdlib>

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

int itembackup[12];

string itemsbackup[12];

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

int item[12]={5,3,0,19,0,4,0,10,9,0,0,0};

string items[12]={"rue","ama","nothing in this slot","cloak","nothing in this slot","sceptre of death","nothing in this slot","zar","staff","nothing in this slot","nothing in this slot","nothing in this slot"};

int itembackup[12]={0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}…

string itemsbackup[12]={"","","","","","","",""…

cout << "Initial list for 12 slots.\n\nSlot number\tItem value\t\tItem name" << endl;

for (int x=0;x<11;x++){cout << x <<"\t\t"<< item[x] << "\t\t\t" << items[x] << endl;}

cout << "\n" << endl;

//copy list to backup, and clear original

for (int x=0;x<11;x++){itembackup[x]=item[x];item…

//Reload original array, placing all items to brginning, no blanks.

int y=0;

for (int x=0;x<11;x++){

if (itembackup[x]>0){

item[y]=itembackup[x];items[y]=itemsback…

y++;}

for (int con=y;con<11;con++){item[con]=0;items[co… here.";}}

cout << "Final list for 12 slots.\n\nSlot number\tItem Value\t\tItem name" << endl;

I'm, usually known for my cut to the quick, sharp tongue, no bullshit opinions. I usually have an answer for anything, after all, if you advise someone the to do what's right, you can't go wrong. But I got buffaloed the other day. I was talking with a girl where I work and she was telling me about her dating two guys. Both guys know about each other (Thanks to my advice to her) everything is on the up and up. She said she had to make a choice between them but couldn't decide. She posed this question to me. "Is it possible to be in love with more than one person at the same time."

My initial reaction was to think "Hell no", after all, if you love someone truly, there can't be love for someone else. It's not possible.

Then it hit me that as a parent, I love all six of my children equally... So it is possible.

I can see both sides of the coin. I told her I'd think about it, and get back to her. I have no clue as to how I'm going to answer her. So Yahoo... I put it to you. Is it possible?

I wrote a class in c++, and I have an array of data. I am trying to get the class to except the array, but am having a terrible time. The only way I can get it to work, is if I put the actual array in main function, of the main.cpp file. I want it try to keep the array in the monster.h file and then assign whatever monster I am using at the time, a more manageable variable name. So instead of

mon[53].name, or mon[69].desc, I would be able to use something like critter.name and critter.desc... Can someone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong here?

The data array goes like this:

mon[0]=npc("name",1,0,0,5,10,6,5,"wep name",2,"mons description.");

mon[1]=npc("name",1,0,0,5,10,6,5,"wep name",2,"mons description.");

mon[2]=npc("name",1,0,0,5,10,6,5,"wep name",2,"mons description.");

mon[3]=npc("name",1,0,0,5,10,6,5,"wep name",2,"mons description.");

mon[4]=npc("name",1,0,0,5,10,6,5,"wep name",2,"mons description.");

and so on up to

mon[299]=npc("name",1,0,0,5,10,6,5,"we… name",2,"mons description.");
