Hey, I want to have a C program which, for an existing file supplied by the command line argument (E.g. File1.txt) replaces all the occurrences of the words:
"We or we by I a by the A by The. Then print the replaced file. All other characters of the file are to be left unchanged. I know basically to change a string of characters you use: String.Replace("oldval","newval"); How would you go about doing this to an entire txt file??? Maybe use a loop or case statement? Does anybody know any places to get code snippets for something like this. Im not very experienced but looking to learn!! |

You can usually replace instances of a word with another using something.. say sed, like this:
Code:
sed 's/a/the/g' somefile > someotherfile; mv someotherfile somefile |
