I am working on an assignment and I have pretty much figured it all out but keep in mind I am not allowed to use arrays nor streams for this program. I must input string data from a file and display 40 characters per line of the data in the file without cutting off any of the words. This part of the problem has stumped me. I am also stumped on how to figure out how to capitalize the first letter of a word if it has symbols attached to the front. I was thinking that the 40 characters per line would work best in my void function for print_text and the capitalization should go in format_text. I have tried my best and was able to successfully capitalize the first letter and make the last letters of each word lower case, but I cannot figure out how to do it if the word has symbols in front (ex. **running)
