    from text file to array

    Hello there, i'm writing a code of a program and i'm stuck with one thingy... i need to put the content of file to a char array... the content of file:
    Code:
    one(1) nine(9) five(5) two(2)
    how do i put only the words in to a array...because later i will have to go through all of them and search for a particular word? any suggestions?

    Why not to use vector of strings instead?

    Have you read FAQ?

    For example Cprogramming.com FAQ > Separate a string into tokens? (C++)
