can anyone help me!? i have to create program to search word from text file, but i don't know how can i match word from input to text.. Can anybody help!!!??

First you have to extract a word from your text file.
Second compare it with the word you want to search.
true?-->found!
false?-->extract the next word from the file and compare again etc.
until the end of file is reached.

i can open text file, but i can't compare word ..Could you tell me which function can i use for compare it,,Please... thank you
fstream dict("test.txt",ios::in);

if (!dict.is_open())
{
cout << "Unable to open file";
system("pause");
exit(1);
}
while (! myfile1.eof() )
{
getline (myfile1,line);

C++ has a string class which contains a compare method. You certainly have some documentation where you can get info about those. If you can find it you can even do better.

You could use tags. For example:
//Proper libaries//
...

//So basically search the whole file and keep tab on which word you have imported and if your word matches then, break;

thank you so much for advice,,, i'll try

Not much there to go on but it appears you have no indices therefore can use a simple character compare by stepping through the text. The problem is that this type of compare can be very time consumming.

Alternately, you might be able to use the built in library routines for text string handling and simply look for the target text within the text to be searched. Might be the simplest and fastest way to go.

You should find examples of either method in the complier's docs or any basic programming manual.

My advice, do not use eof() it's counter productive. Instead do this.

i don't know why it doesn't match,,

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{ int i,j=0;

char word[30];
char text[300];
cout<<"Enter word to search \n";
cin>>word[i];
fstream dict("test.txt",ios::in);

if (!dict.is_open())
{
cout << "Unable to open file";
system("pause");
exit(1);
}
loop:
while(dict.getline(text,300))

{
if(word[j]!=text[j])
{


goto loop;
j++;
}
else;
cout<<text<<endl;}
cout<<endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
..................................

i'm really new,,,so confuse..

Please use code tags.
Secondly, avoid goto statements, there are much better ways of achieving the same results. http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/goto.html

Secondly there is no word[30] to word[299], they don't exsist so thats a very bad move to make. Also if the character matches or not you still go back and read a new line from your inputfile.

There are probably many more things i could comment on but im not going to for now at least.
