Taking inputs

Recently I've been helped on making a program which counts numbers found in a string.
A little problem though..I'm stuck on how to enable user to Input the string he wants.
Please help






#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
stringstream in( "More like cat 7 dog 42 9000" );
string word;
int counter = 0;
while ( in >> word )
{
if ( word.find_first_not_of( "0123456789" ) == string::npos && stoi( word ) < 1000 ) counter++;
}
cout << "There are " << counter << " numbers less than 1000\n";
}

How about this?

string user_input;
cin >> user_input;

cout << counter;

My aim is not counting number of digits. It's to count occurrence of number less than 1000 in a string

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout<<"Enter string: ";
    string user_input;
    cin >> user_input;
    int counter = 0;
    {
        if ( user_input.find_first_not_of( "0123456789" ) == string::npos && stoi( user_input ) < 1000 )
            counter++;
    }
    cout << counter;
}

This prints 1 when I enter a string < 1000, and 0 when enter a string with non-digits or digits >= 1000.

Enter string: 999
1 
Enter string: a123
0 
Enter string: 1234
0


As someone in the other thread on this topic noted, more work is needed if you want to parse negative numbers in this manner (check if first digit is '-').

Input a string:
More like cat 7 dog 42 9000

There are 2 numbers less than 1000

Thanks a lot bro

Sorry,you recently helped me on my program to count numbers found in string.
But now I want to update the program to ask the user how many strings he wants to Input vertically.
Then that will be the limit of the strings which should be entered.

Example
Output:Enter number of strings:
Input:7
Output:Enter strings:
Input:
More
Like
Cat
7
dog
42
9000
Output:There are 2 numbers less than 1000.
Sorry for disturbing and thanks.

Enter a succession of words, one per line. Finish with a blank line:
More
like
cat
7
dog
42
9000

There are 2 numbers less than 1000

Thanks... though the user need to decide for himself the limit of words he should enter
Dee5 (167)
How do you finish with a blank line?

Yes, when he/she has finished ... he enters a blank line. Saves counting.

cout << "Enter a succession of words, one per line. Finish with a blank line:\n";


If you want to specify the number of strings then prompt the user for it first, then use a for loop.

How do you finish with a blank line?

The user hits enter/return without typing anything.

while (std::getline(std::cin, word) && !word.empty() )

I do want to specify the number of strings but the problem comes from the for loop
Dee5 (167)
Count<<" Enter number of strings:";
Cin >> n;
For (int i = 0 ; i <n ; ++n)

Is it correct?

No, it is not.

Your syntax is wrong, again. Count? Cin?

Whatever you are using to type your code is doing you NO favors.

And PLEASE learn to use code tags!
