Thread: counting each occurenc of each word in a file

hey fellas:

this is a small part of my big project.. need suggestions on how to count all occurences of each word ina file.. sort of a bucket sort of unknown preportions..


here is what i did and i can't figure out why but it did not work..

i set up a linked list containing a name and an integer value.. used for a counter.. each time i found a duplicate word by strcmp'n my input to each value in the linked list i'd increment the counter or add a new node.. now that did not work.. i would end up with two nodes for 'jerry' or 'tom'.. for whatever reason...

thanks!
