How can I get a program to find and extract an email adress from a line and replaces the @ sign with 'AT'?
I just started learning c++ and have run into a wall. I can get my screen to display everyhing from the @ sign to the end of the string, but I cant get it to stop at the.com or the space right after. I know this has somethign to do with rfind and loops but all the tutorials dont help,
I just need to see a solution or possible a different aproach, thanks!
Just use the replace method of the C++ string class.
Something like this perhaps.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::string email("abcdefgh@abcd.com");
std::cout << email << std::endl;
email.replace( email.find('@'),1, "AT" );
std::cout << email << std::endl;
return 0;
}One thing to note is that only the first @ character will be replaced by this method. But I think a string with multiple @ characters is not a valid email address.

1) Search for the @
2) test characters after the @ for valid domain name construct. Memorize the first position that doesn't fit.
3) test the characters before the @ for valid email name construct. Memorize the first position that doesn't fit.
4) Copy all the characters between the memorized positions.

Why not? What are you doing wrong?

Actually, what you need is to show us what you are doing and maybe we can help you fix it.
int at_location = full_line.find('@');
int com_location = full_line.find('.com');
string slice = full_line.substr(at_location, com_location);
when I cout slice i get the enter string after the @.
Also how do I search from the @ to the beginnig of the word and store than in its own string?
I guess im having trouble getting find() to stop at the first space after @... annnnd having a string start at the fisrt space befor the @
