I believe that I found a way to remove extra spaces from a text file,
as follows:
for (int x = 1; x <= index; x++)
{
pos1 = 0, pos2 = 0; //reset the position variables for a new
loop
//find function return the unsigned int string::npos if
substring
not found
//avoid repetition of the loop
while (page[x][x].find(" ",pos2) != string::npos)
{
pos1=page[x][x].find(" ",pos2);
cout << "POS1 : " << pos1 << " POS2: " << pos2 << " ";
page[x][x].erase(pos1,1);
pos2=pos2+pos1;
}
}
but it only removes in wherein there are two or three spaces, above
that it does not work.
