Using the the sample code of linked list node1.h and node1.cpp

Implement the list_piece() function and a driver main program.

Implement a main program that takes a text file as an input (as a command line argument or after a prompt) and processes followings. The words in the input text file should be stored in a linked list, one word at a node. So you have to modify the node1.h to accommodate a string. Then ask the user to pick two words, one for the starting and one for the ending word. And search the original list to find a new sub-list that contains the items, as a starting and ending node, and print out the new list. When you print, include the last word. So you have to implement the list_piece() to include the last word as well. If there's no such sub-list, just print out an error message.

Once you printout the new sub-list, you need to sort the sub-list (in dictionary order) using the insertion sort algorithm and print out the new sorted sub-list. When you sort the list, you must rearrange the link structure of nodes by updating associated pointers, not by copying/moving the strings between nodes.

Just in case, here's a detailed description of the insertion sort algorithm and a sample implementation.

http://www.algolist.net/Algorithms/Sorting/Insertion_sort

The input text file may have sentences with punctuation marks. But to simplify the issue, let's assume that the text file will have only five punctuation marks . , ' - ? . So when you assign a string to a node, you need to get rid of those five punctuation marks and store only the word itself.

// FILE: node1.h // PROVIDES: A class for a node in a linked list, and list manipulation // functions, all within the namespace main_savitch_5 // // TYPEDEF for the node class: // Each node of the list contains a piece of data and a pointer to the // next node.
