String manipulations gogo

alright, so I'm retarded when it comes to c++

I want an if condition of if the current part of a string is a bracket or a paren.

how the fuck I do that?

if (input.whatthefuckgoeshere == "[";)

This is how I optimize my code.

$ cat enterprise_quality.c | sed -e "s/^\(.*\)#.*/\1/g" | sed -e "/^$/d"
