A test indexing program

Text Index

Last time we created a class to create an word index:

Parse

Parsing a document into words

Now we want to build an index of an actual text. In order to do this we need to read all the words from a text, and place them in the index.

Here is a program that reads a text file word by word:

https://repl.it/@JimSkon/IndexPoemStart

We could build an index from this. What is the problem?

Parse a line into strings

Here is a program that takes a line and turns it in to worsds using a class call stringstream.

https://repl.it/@JimSkon/ParseLineIntoString

Note that a string stream reads from a string as though it is a string.

Now we can get the line numbers!

Remove punctuation

Our solution has punctuation, which messes up the index. Lets look at code to fix this:

https://repl.it/@JimSkon/RemovePunctuation

Convert to lower case:

Won't we line "The" and "the" and "THE" to all share the same index? How can we do that?

Create a File Read class

Create a class to open a file, and return the words and lines numbers one at a time with the punctuataion removed, and converted to lower case.

Index program.

Create a program to index the text, and repeatedly ask the user for which word they wish to search for.
