Question

I need to check if a word exists in a dictionary text file, I think I could use strcmp, but I don’t actually know how to get a line of text from the document. Here’s my current code I’m stuck on.

#include "includes.h"
#include <string>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;
bool CheckWord(char* str)
{
    ifstream file("dictionary.txt");

    while (getline(file,s)) {
        if (false /* missing code */) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Answer 1

char aWord[50];
while (file.good()) {
    file>>aWord;
    if (file.good() && strcmp(aWord, wordToFind) == 0) {
        //found word
    }
}

You need to read words with the input operator.
