I would like to write a C++ program that searches for the variable "state !=
0" in a text file, and then go back 3 steps each time to read "count". The
program should create a new file with "state count". The data in the old
file is variable, but could be as follows:
old_file.txt
new_file.txt
state count

If you want to write a C++ program, why the blue blazes are you

They are two different languages, you know, and C++ is completely

Kindly be more polite in the future.

grep "1 " old_file.txt
(ok there are better REs but I can't be bothered to look it up)
if you *really* have to write a program take a look at strstr().
if you *really* have to do it in C++ then try comp.lang.c++. I'd
guess std::string would be a place to start.

Nick,
Thanks for your advice.
Does strstr() have the ability to search for a string at the current line in
a text file, and if there is a match
1) copy the string at the current line n, and also
2) copy strings at a previous line? e.g. n-3
Please let me know your thoughts.
Regards,
Michele

do you want C or C++? They are different languages. I have only
given a C answer.
Does strstr() have the ability to search for a string at the current line in a text file, and if there is a match
no. as 20s with google woul have shown you. Use fgets() to read a line
and
strstr() to find a string within it.
1) copy the string at the current line n, and also 2) copy strings at a previous line? e.g. n-3
why do you need to do this to solve your problem. And what does
"eg. n-3" mean?

and equally wrong
<snip> grep "1 " old_file.txt
(ok there are better REs but I can't be bothered to look it up)
so why don't you use grep?
Because your solution is wrong. It can't be done with grep alone. The
requirement was, that at encountering a state not equal to zero, the
value three lines above should be output. It's, however, trivial in
scripting languages like awk:
awk '$1 { print $1, old3 }
{ old3=old2; old2=old1; old1=$1; } ' old_file.txt
This can be easily translated into C++, which is left as an exercise to
the reader (OP)
