It's a program that works sort of like a lexical analyzer, but it's just supposed to pull any given data from a .txt file and display it. Nothing else. I'm not satisfied with the array I have so far.

/****************************************************************

*keywords[]={"procedure","is","begin","end","var","cin","cout","if",
          "then","else","and","or","not","loop","exit","when",

/****************************************************************

char special[]={'%','!','@','~','$'};

I didn't know how to create an array that will just pull anything from any given text file, so that's why it checks for different things. How can I create such an array? The input files look similar to this one:

class A {
int a[11],x,y,z;
char *oneString;
public:
A() { oneString= new char[100]; }
A() { delete oneString; }
void f();
};
void A::f() {
int temp;
x=y+1;
z=x+2; z= x*x;
}

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. Do you mean you want to read a file into an array of words? or lines?
Anyway, why use arrays instead of vector?
I would do it like this

#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
   std::vector<std::string> words;
   std::ifstream in("filetoread.txt");
   std::string s;
   while(in >> s)
       words.push_back(s);
}

hope this helped

Yes, just like the example. It's C++ reserved words, variables etc. One per line. Ok, this would do it too. Opens the file and gets the data, right?

of course it would. avoid using char[] use std::string. Avoid using T[], use std::vector<T>

for example you can test two strings for equality with ==, unlike char[].

you can iterate over a vector (not the best way, but the easiest) the following way:
vector<int> my_array;
//fill data
for(int i = 0; i<my_array.size(); ++i)
{
do something with my_array
}

if you have any questions about vectors or anything else feel free to contact me via email lordn3mrod@gmail.com or post here

your keywords array, for example would look like
std::vector<std::string> keywords;
keywords.push_back("if");
keywords.push_back("else");
keywords.push_back("for");
....

special would be
std::vector<char> special;
special.push_back('&');
...

Thank you. I will have to modify other parts too, then.

Not sure if this was the most efficent way to do it. As you can see, it adds items to structure of the array. I thought it was easier just to store it in an array. So I would just need the print function basically, and the vector. Is that what you mean?

oops, it just occurred to me... are you writing in C or C++? 'Cause there are no vector's and strings in C... and, if it is C you are using then you've posted in a wrong thread :)

Sorry. I posted the code now. Didn't know vectors. This would probably be a better fit then.

include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
	// Open file for input
	std::ifstream ifs("input.txt");
 
	std::string line; // string to contain each line
 
	
	while(std::getline(ifs, line))
	{
		// deal with each line here...
		std::cout << line << std::endl;
	}
 
	return 0;
}

I just don't see why you posted so much code here...
if you wanna do it by an array, you can do it like this

char words[maxwordcount][maxwordlength];

int wordcount = 0;
while(inputstream >> words[wordcount ++]);
