Thread: search words

Here is the code:

Code:

/*
void FindWord()	// find a word from puzzle
	{
		std::vector<std::string>::const_iterator iter_start = wordlist.begin();
		std::vector<std::string>::iterator iter_end = wordlist.end();
		//std::vector<PuzzleRow> row = 0;
		//std::vector<PuzzleRow> col = 0;
		
		for (iter_start; iter_start != iter_end; ++iter_start)
		{
			for (PuzzleLetters::size_type i = 0; i < puzzleletters.size(); ++i)
			{
				for (PuzzleRow::size_type j = 0; j < puzzleletters[i].size(); ++j)
				{
					if ((wordlist[j][0]) == puzzleletters[i][j])
					{
						//LookupLister::lookup(*iter_start , puzzleletters, i, j)  // look up a word
						if (wordlist[j].size() <= puzzleletters[i].size() - col)  // enough room ?
						{
							int k = 0;
							while (wordlist[j][++k] == puzzleletters[i][++j]);
							std::cout << "Found a word \n";
						}
						
					}	
					//else
						//std::cout << "Word not found ! \n";
				}
			}
		}

I am trying to find a word from the puzzle by comparing each character at a time. What is the better way for comparing each character and see if the word is found in the puzzle? The puzzle contains many characters.
