dictionary

I am trying to find incorrect words in an input file. I am having an issue with spaces, new lines, and punctuation. Any help or input is appreciated.

int hashFunction(const string &key, int tableSize)
{
 int hashVal = 0;

 for(int i = 0; i < key.length();  i++) 
 hashVal = 37 * hashVal + key[i];
 hashVal %= tableSize;

 // Handle any negative values 
 // Won't happen with strings or ASCII values, 
 // could happen with other data types
 if(hashVal < 0)
  {
   hashVal += tableSize;
  }

return hashVal;
}

int main()

ifstream dictionary_File("dictionary.txt", ios::in); // Open dictionary

if(dictionary_File.is_open()) // Error check opening file

  return(Error);

I'm not sure why it is saying that words like 'a' are misspelled, they are within the dictionary.

Any ideas?

My apologies, at first glace I was mistaken. I'm afraid I cannot help you at this moment, though. I will look at it the first chance I get if no one else has.

Which section of code are you talking about? line is a string

Any help is appreciated, it has to be in my comparison. I just don't know what it could be though.
