Text Analysis C

Overview 🌐

Text Analysis C is a Text Processing Toolkit written in ANSI C. This repository contains a collection of C programs designed for various text processing tasks, each catering to specific needs in text analysis and manipulation. Currently, the toolkit includes two main programs:

• Balanced Bracket Checker (BBC): A utility to check if brackets in the input text are correctly balanced, considering various scenarios such as strings and comments in the code.
• ASCII Sequence Compressor (ASC): This program compresses sequences of consecutive ASCII characters, efficiently shortening strings by representing continuous sequences with a start and end character.

The toolkit aims to provide robust and efficient solutions for common text processing challenges in programming and data analysis.

Programs Included 📜

1. Balanced Bracket Checker (BBC)

• Purpose: Checks if brackets in the input text are correctly balanced.
• Features:
  • Validates (), {}, and [] brackets.
  • Skips brackets inside strings and comments.
  • Reports unbalanced lines and single curly braces.
• See BBC/README.md for more details.

2. ASCII Sequence Compressor (ASC)

• Purpose: Compresses sequences of consecutive ASCII characters.
• Features:
  • Detects and compresses sequences where each character's ASCII value is one greater than the previous character.
  • Compresses sequences longer than two characters into a start and end character, separated by a dash (-).
• See ASC/README.md for more details.

How to Use 🛠️

1. Compilation:

   • Each program can be compiled using a C compiler like gcc.

   • Example for BBC:

     gcc -o bbc bbc.c

   • Example for ASC:

     gcc -o asc asc.c

2. Execution:

   • Run the compiled program in a terminal or command prompt.

   • For BBC:

     ./bbc

   • For ASC:

     ./asc

   • Follow on-screen instructions for each program.
