i need to compare two files, the fi

[niru1972]

i need to compare two files, the first file is a kind of dictionary with all the words and the second file is having some data in it. i need to compare the words in file2 with that in file1 , if the word of file2 exists in file1 then i have to print the word, and the offset of the word in the file.

how do i compare the two files.

Well, what you need to do is determine the sperator for the words in file 1.

1. Read the first word in file 2
2. Look at the first word in file 1
3. Compare, if they're ==, print the word
4. if not, move to the next word in file 1
5. Compare...
As always, I hope that helped!
