Lab Manual 7- String Instructions

The lab manual provides a series of programming activities focused on string manipulation, including copying screen lines, scrolling, and various practice problems. Key tasks include counting character occurrences, printing string tokens, replacing characters, trimming spaces, compressing strings, and highlighting substrings. Students are instructed to use proper subroutines and delay functions as needed.

Lab Manual – String Instructions

Important Instructions:
● Make proper subroutines
● Use Delay Function, that we did in class (if required)
Activity 1 [MOVS]: Write a program that copies first 12 lines of screen (e.g. DOSBOX Introduction) in last
12 lines.

Activity 2 [Scroll Up and Down]: We did examples of Scroll Up and Scroll Down in class. Using those
functions, write a program that scrolls the Screen 3 rows Up and 3 rows down in an infinite loop without
losing any data of screen. (First call printstr to print 5,5 strings in top and bottom 5 rows of screen to
test your ScrollUpAndDown functionality.)
abc: times 32 dw 0 ; space for 32 words
xyz: times 256 dw 0 ; space for 256 words

Practice Problems
1- Write a program that finds total number of occurrences of a character from a null terminated
string. For example total occurrences of ‘a’ in string “I am a student of coal” are 3.
2- Write a program that prints tokens of a string on Screen. Best use string instructions studied so
far.
Sample Run:
String: I am a student of coal
Output:
I
am
a
student
of
coal

3- [SCAS] Write a program that takes a c-string myStr and two characters charToFind and
charToReplace from user and replaces all the occurrences of charToFind with charToReplace in
myStr. Your program should create a space of 50 characters on heap in order to save myStr.
Sample output:
InputString: ddsdfhgrtsdfhjghjksdd
CharToFind: d
CharToReplace: $

ModifiedString: $$s$fhgrts$fhjghjks$$
4- Write a program that takes a character ch and a CString myStr and removes all the occurrences
of ch from myStr.
Sample Output:
myStr: cabccdefcfdcxyzcc
ch: ‘c’

Modified String: abdeffd xyz

5- TrimStart(char* str)
Write a function that takes a string and removes all the space in start of the string.
Sample Output:
Before TrimStart
str: “ Hello How are you?”

After TrimStart
str: “Hello How are you?”

6- String Compression
Write a function that compresses a string by removing consecutive occurrences of same character.
Sample Run:
String Before Compression:
Str: “ggggdddddddyyyyakxxxuww”
String after Compression:
Str: “gdyakxuw”

7- Write a function that searches a substring from a string and highlights the found substring. If the
string is not found it will not highlight anything.
Sample Run:
String: “I am a student of COAL”
Substring: “student”
Printed String after Search: “I am a student of COAL”
