string occurences

[outofmymind]

Hi,

im doing this question:
Replace all the occurrences of a string in a file and report number of replacements.

I did the first part of the question, but im having problems with the second part, i which i have to report the number of replacements.

this is the code that i did so far:

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string whole_file, str;
    ifstream in ("file.txt");
    while (!in.eof())
    {
          std::getline(in,str,'\n');
          whole_file = whole_file + str + "\n";
          
    }
    
  int pos = 0;
  
  while (pos!=-1 && pos<whole_file.length())
  {
    pos = whole_file.find ("money", 0);
    if (pos!=-1)
    {
      cout<<whole_file.replace(pos, 5, "university", 10);
}
}
cout<<whole_file;

getch();
return 0;

}

Thanks..... all help on how i can solve the second part of the question will be very much appreaciated.

all you need is a counter which you increment when you replace a string, e.g.

  int pos = 0, counter=0;
  
  while (pos!=-1 && pos<whole_file.length())
  {
    pos = whole_file.find ("money", 0);
    if (pos!=-1)
    {
      cout<<whole_file.replace(pos, 5, "university", 10);
      counter++;
}
}
