hey guys... here's my question
i have to read a text file and find some key words in it .... i know i cannot have a set of strings, and i know everytime i find a word i can check the word with a linklist or an array of strings.......... but this stratigy would take a lot of time and would be insufficient.
can anybody suggest anything else?

Actually, you can't get around having a list of the words to find. Both an array of string and a linked list of strings are just as efficient.

Hope this helps.
