Code:It gets words from a file, each word from each line and i want to find out if the word "and" is in the list... can someone help me? int z=0; char *word="and"; while(fgets(c,sizeof(c),fq)!=NULL) { if(strcmp(c,word)==0) { printf("word found"); z++; } printf("h%s\n",c); if(head==NULL){ head=add(head,c); tail = head; } else{ tail = add(tail,c); } printf("g%s listed: ",tail->word); }
fgets() read's the newline, so c will contain,
so do something like:Code:and\n
But that means if the line is:Code:if(strncmp(c, word, strlen(word)) == 0) {
and you're searching for 'and' it'll match.Code:andy
Consider removing the newline and staying with strcmp(), see the FAQ.
* c is a poor name for a variable (especially a character array)
* don't post your whole post in code tags.
