Unique Word count program

I am working on an assignment to count specific words in a file. I am able to copy the file into an structure of an array. I thought I would use strcmp and compare each member of the structure to the others, increase my count if they are equal etc.

I ran into a snag becuase the strcmp function works with character pointers, and not structures.

Any advice would be helpful. I am new to C and programing so I hope the code is easy to follow. The UniqueWord function at the bottom is where I am running into the problem with strcmp not working with the structure.

Thanks

Code:

Why do you need to compare strings?

Just count the spaces and add 1...

Also, avoid using feof to control a loop:
Cprogramming.com FAQ > Why it's bad to use feof() to control a loop

Very interesting on the for loop for loop controlled with the feof. I was getting problems reading the whole file instead of a line at a time. I was getting a double line printed at the end of the file that should not have been there. That is why I switched to reading the file a line at a time.

I am trying to read the text from a file and tell how many specific words are there.

For example the are 20 occurrences of "The" in the national anthem. This is why I am comparing strings.

Lots of things I have tried are having problems becuase of the structure.
