String Subscript out of FUCKING RANGE

Alright, I don't get it....with hand-typed text, or the code from google.com, this works perfectly fine. On other websites, it gives me shit about a string subscript going out of range. The only thing I know for sure is that it occurs in this section of code, towards the end:


//Set vector elements to lines from text file
    //Open txt file
    ifstream myFile;
    myFile.open("parseme.txt");
    while (getline(myFile, line))
    {
        text[linecount] = line;
        linecount++; //count lines to set count for parsing
    }
    //Close txt file
    myFile.close();

//FORMAT TEXT
    for (int i = 0; i < linecount ; i++)
    {
        //Send line from vector to the parse method, set vector element to returned line
        string temp = formatText(text[i]);
        text[i] = temp;
        cout<<text[i]<<endl;
    }

The function:

//Format line of text
string formatText(string line)
{
    string newLine = "";

    const int length = line.length();
       
    //Format line of text to lowercase
    for (int i = 0; i != length; i++)
        line[i] = tolower(line[i]);

    //Omit HTML tags and script tags/content
    for (int i = 0; i != length; i++)
    {
        if (line[i] == '<')
        {
            tag = true;
            newLine += " ";//Add spaces around tags so separate words don't get smushed together

            if ( (line[i+1] == 's' && line[i+2] == 'c' && line[i+3] == 'r') || (line[i+1] == 's' && line[i+2] == 't' && line[i+3] == 'y') ) //Check for script or style tag
                script = true;
        }

        //Copy text that isn't an html tag, script or style
        else if (tag == false && script == false)
            newLine += line[i];

        else if (line[i] == '>')
        {
            tag = false;
            newLine += " ";//Add spaces around tags so separate words don't get smushed together

            if ( (line[i-7] == '/' && line[i-6] == 's' && line[i-5] == 'c' && line[i-4] == 'r') || (line[i-7] == '/' && line[i-6] == 's' && line[i-5] == 't' && line[i-4] == 'y') ) //Check for closing script or style tag
                script = false;
        }
    }

    return newLine;
}

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

aaaah?

don't kno shit bout this, but Imma bite
can you guarantee that for
line[i-7] i is atleast 7 etc?

So do sepples IDEs not feature debuggers & breakpoints and shit.
You could actually see the string it goes out of range for.

That is a great point! Thanks, I'll make sure I add another condition so that there are at least however many characters on the line

>>4

and yes I'm using Visual Studio 2008 but I don't really know how the breakpoint shit works lol

(On a related note, stop with the SEPPLES shit. It's gay. Like you.)

>>5
You know what's really gay, a SEPPLES programmer that doesn't know how to program

stop with the SEPPLES shit
SEPPLES, in my /prog/!?

Thanks for the tip, that did it. After at least a few hours of coding I start to overlook the simpler problems, especially when it's a runtime issue and not something I can catch when I try to compile. That shit can be hard to pick out sometimes, especially if it's just 1 character in a jumblefuck of shit

>>6

Them's some big words, coming from an anonymous internetard.

Sorry, I must have forgotten that everyone on /prog/ is a natural born coder with absolutely nothing they can ever learn to better their godlike skills! Oh wait....

Just tell him how cool his story is. There are so many cool stories in this board.
