Reading from a text file

[Gz64jE8b]

How can I match a word with one in a text file

Let's say I need to check if a file has the word "Hello" in it.

How could I do that?

I'd appreciate code snippets.

Well it's really up to you, you can do it lots of different ways, one such way would be to use a sort of regex, another would be to do a simple comparison like this:

bool wordIsInTextFile(string tosearchfor, string filestring){
 fstream file;
 file.open(filestring.c_str(),ios::in|ios::binary);
 string fromfile = ""; 
 while(!file.eof()) {
 file >> fromfile;
 if (tosearchfor == fromfile){
   file.close();  
   return true;
 }
 file.close();
 return false;
}
