a FORTRAN program that reads three strings from the terminal. The first string will be a sentence to be transformed, the second will be a pattern to be matched, and the third will be a replacement. For all occurrences of the pattern in the first string the pattern is to be replaced by the third string. For example, if the three stings are: 1. The quick dump truck and the lazy zebras. 2. the 3. several
program would replace "the" in the first string with "several". The new string would read "The quick dump truck and several lazy zebras." The max len of string is 80 char. ***(NOTICE that the first word of the phrase was NOT changed ??" it begins with an uppercase “t?? and therefore does NOT match!!)***
INPUT - When your program is running properly, use the data files INPUT_1 and INPUT_2 to test your program.
OUTPUT - The program should reprint the three strings, and then print the new string after each replacement. When the process terminates, the reason for termination should be provided (line would exceed 80 characters, no pattern in the string, or more than 100 iterations).
REQUIREMENTS - 1. You **MAY NOT** use any GOTO statements in your program. 2. The data file will involve several groups of three strings, so you will need to use an appropriate construct to read them into your program 3. You should give a new heading for each group, so they are set off from each other. 4. You should, of course, have a heading for the entire output. 5. A closing message would be nice.
More details will go to winning bidder.
