Hello, I'm new here and I have a question.

I'm doing this project for school and I need to compare a word in a file to a list fo words in a dictionary. It's basically a crappy spell checker.

Anyways, I isolate the words in the file one by one and store them in an array of characters. This works fine, however when I comparer it to the dictionary file it says they never match up, though I know they do. So every word is printed as a typo.
The dictionary file is a list of sequential words, one per line. I think this is what is getting me. As when it reads the dictionary file it grabs the new line character as well, then it doesn't compare properly with strcmp. Would this theory be right?
I tried appending an extra '\n' to the end of each word as I grab it from the file, but that didn't work. neither did adding a NULL.

Any help would be appreciated.

Post your code.

Regards,

Dave

I had to hand it in already. Thanks for the thought though!
