Spell Check.

[StingRaptor]

So this program has to do the following:

- Enter a word
- Open a predetermined text file (it is assumed that it's always there, in this case it's dict.txt)
- If the word exists in the text file it will display the word and a message stating it's correct. (ex. word is spelled correctly)
- If the word does not exist or is spelled incorrectly it will assume it's wrong and displays a message stating it's incorrect.
- finally if we type "exit" the program ends.

I can make it find the word and display correctly but I can't get done the other two. I've been trying for days and checked every resource I can think of but just can't find what the problem is. (pretty sure been sick is not helping)

The code I have so far is as it follow:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ifstream dictionary("dict.txt");
    char word[50];
    int array_size = 1024;
	char * array = new char[array_size];
	int position = 0;

    cout << "Please enter the word to  search in file : " << endl;
    cin.getline(word,49);
    int word_size = 0;

    if(dictionary.is_open())
	{
    	while(!dictionary.eof() && position < array_size)
		{
			dictionary.get(array[position]);
			position++;
		}
		array[position-1] = '\0';

    if (word == "exit")
    {
        cout << "ending program..." << endl;
        return 0;
    }
    {
    for(int i = 0; array[i] != '\0'; i++)
		{
            for(int j = 0; word[j] != '\0' && j < 20 ; j++)
            {
            if(array[i] != word[j])
            {
            break;
            }
            else
            {
            i++;
            if(word[j+1] == '\0')
            {
            cout << word << " is spelled correctly." << endl;
            }
            }
            }
		}
	}
	return 0;
}
}

Any assistance or pointers to the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

word == "exit" ← You cannot compare c-strings like that. Use strcmp() to compare or std::string to hold your words.

If after all words in dictionary are compared with your word, no match is found you should output "incorrect word" message
