I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to take in characters from an input file and testing and comparing them. I'm not quite sure how to do it. For example if I had a file that contained the following words:

Good things;come*to&those who wait@

and I had another file containing the words:

Good those

How can I extract the words from the first without the non-alphabetic characters. Furthermore, when I get them out, how can I compare them to the words from the second file in order to see which words were said.
