A console-based application to count appearances of a word, where the user can search text for a target search word, hosted on GitHub. Last Updated 03.06.2020.
This application lets the user enter a phrase, sentence, or block of text and specify a search word, and calculates how many times this search word appears in the given text. This fully tested application can be set to return case sensitive or case-insensitive matches. It determines full word matching only, and can account for mid-word punctuation.
This functionality is attained using Char and String methods in vanilla C#, and without regular expressions. It utilizes custom RepeatCounter objects and overloaded constructors.
It is hosted on GitHub.
See this example output searching through a quote from Frank Herbert's Dune:
$dotnet run
Enter the text through which you wish to search:
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear"
Enter the word you want to count:
fear
Case sensitive? [Y/N]
