does anybody knows "word inflector" using c language?

[aloha123]

---

words are in two files that need to be compared...then generate another file that pluralize already...

Please be specific. I don't understand the requirements. Give examples...

Hmm curious ko unsaon ni pag implement sa mga special words.

Akording sa mga brayt linguists:

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

o kinsa to mga C programmers dha nga mga ngelngeg... pakitang gilas namo, para makatabang sad..

Dili klaro kung specs. What I did not understand is what to compare on the two input files?
To pluralize is just a dictionary lookup for non-standard plural words such as goose or tooth, etc.

I hope the OP will be more specific.

Basicly it does this:
1. You have a big textfile of "keywords". Each line holds one keyword or a keyword phrase. A phrase can consist of 2-X words.
2. Furthermore you have another file - a grammar file. This file contains the singularis/pluralis version of most english nouns.
3. By comparing the words in the keyword file with those in the grammar file, you may extend the keyword file.
4. In a phrase not all words are pluralized. Consider this pluralis example:

car breakdown recovery service cardiff uk, can be:

car breakdowns recovery service cardiff uk
car breakdown recoveries service cardiff uk
car breakdown recovery services cardiff uk

meaning: words are extracted from two different files....

grammar file is given, we use this grammar file to compare in the keyword file.
grammar file looks like this:singular,plural fomat
example:
internet,internets
development,developments
etc...

if keyword file consist of line of text such as
webdesign development on th internet

output woud be: (pluralize one at a time)
webdesign developments on the internet
webdesign development on the internets

ok. here it is:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>

FILE *fk;
FILE *fg;
FILE *fo;

unsigned char buffer[200];

char* find_plural(char *s)
{
	int n;
	char line[1024];
	char word[1024];
	char *ptr1, *ptr2;
	
	strcpy(word,s);
	strcpy(buffer,s);
	
	n=strlen(word);
	if (n==0) return buffer;
	
	word[n++] = '/';
	word[n] = 0;
	
	fseek(fg, 0, SEEK_SET);
	while(fgets(line,1024,fg) != NULL)
	{
		if (strncmp(word, line, n) == 0)
		{
			ptr1 = buffer;
			ptr2 = line+n;
			while (isalnum(*ptr2))
			{
				*ptr1++ = *ptr2++;
			}
			*ptr1 = 0;
			return buffer;
		}
	}
	
	return buffer;
}


void pluralize(char *line)
{
	char *words[200];
	char *ptr;
	int new_word;
	int word_count = 0;
	int i;
	
	ptr = line;
	new_word = 1;
	
	while(*ptr)
	{
		if (isalnum(*ptr))
		{
			if (new_word)
			{
				words[word_count++] = ptr;
				new_word = 0;
			}
		}
		else
		{
			*ptr=0;
			new_word = 1;
		}
		++ptr;
	}
	*ptr = 0;

	for (i=0;i<word_count;++i)
	{
		/* printf("%s-",words[i]); */
		fprintf(fo, "%s ",find_plural(words[i]));
	}
	fprintf(fo, "\n");
}



int main(void)
{
	char line[1024];

	fk = fopen("keyword.txt","r");
	fg = fopen("grammar.txt","r");
	fo = fopen("output.txt","w");
	
	while(fgets(line,1024,fk) != NULL)
	{
		pluralize(line);
	}

	fclose(fk);
	fclose(fg);
	fclose(fo);
}

Code, keyword.txt, grammar.txt and output.txt can be downloaded at my blog here http://geekzone.freehostia.com/c-wor...tor-pluralizer

[cold_fusion]

grammar file looks like this:singular,plural fomat
example:
internet,internets
development,developments
etc...
sign development on the internets

Note that the code i posted parses the grammar.txt with the following format: singular/plural .
I have not read this last post when I code this a few minutes ago.
But you could change the code easily to fit your format as an exercise.

Hala mo... dapat bangkahan nimo si cold_fusion or kung di gani, dapat tagaan nimo siya ug kiss. Pang compiler project bya na... Hala mo.... :P
