This may sound stupid, but for the life of me I cannot find the correct code/format for WordCount. I need to count the number of words in a string. And what STL is it listed in. I have tried this code but it did not work.
CODE
WordCount (stringname)

Make your own word count function?
It's simple enough, all you need to do is loop through a string and count the spaces.

You might want to account for double spaces, too.

If you check the snippets, there are most likely some gems to be found in there smile.gif

Actually
if you have used a command named grep in Linux,you can do wordcount very simplely.
CODE

/*don't count number
make number as space
between words can have two space
*/
//I CAN'T WARRANT THIS FUNCTION IS RIGHT
#include<ctype.h>
int wordcount(char *string){
    int count;
    while(*string!='\0'){
        if(isalpha(string)){
            count++;
            while(*string!=' '){
                if(*string=='\0')
                return count;
            }
        }
    }
}

You'll have to watch for back to back spaces, or else you'll get bogus results.
