read a file into an array and remove punctuation while changing everything to lowercase in c++

Asked by urobins in C++ Programming Language, C Programming Language, Microsoft Visual C++

I am working on a text analyzer for my c++ class and i am a little stumped. I am reading a file in to an array, but I want to convert everything to lower case and remove punctuation from the file, I was wondering if there is a way to do that. this is waht I ahve so far and it reads everything into an array just fine, but I am stumped on how to do the rest.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

//prototypes
char read (char *, int);

//Reads words in from a text file residing on the computer

char** read(const char* fileName, int& count)
{
ifstream countingStream(fileName);
// first count them
count = 0;
while (true)
{
            char line[100];
            countingStream.getline(line, 100);
            if (strlen(line) == 0)
            {
                  break;
            }
            count += 1;
}
countingStream.close();

ifstream readingStream(fileName);
char** words = new char* [count];

for (int index = 0; index < count; ++index)
{
            char line[100];
            readingStream.getline(line, 100);
            words[index] = strdup(line);
            cout << line << std::endl;
}
readingStream.close();
return words;
}
