help with morse code hw

tjendra (2)
I am supposed to open a .txt file with a phrase written in morse code, write a code to open the file and write a new file with the phrase translated to english. Then write another part to do english back to morse code and I have no idea what to do.

I wrote some crazy code to go one by one through the entire string of morse code to change it to english but obviously I have an abundant amount of errors.

Any advice?

How is the Morse code stored in the file? Each word on a line by itself? Can you print an example of the file?
tjendra (2)
it uses spaces in between letters and "/" in between words.

- .... . / ... - .- - ..- - . / .-- .- ... / .- / -. --- - .- -... .-.. . / .--. .-. . -.-. ..- .-. ... --- .-. / --- ..-. / - .... . / . ... - .- -... .-.. .. ... .... -- . -. - / -.-. .-.. .- ..- ... . / .- -. -.. / ..-. .-. . . / . -..- . .-. -.-. .. ... . / -.-. .-.. .- ..- ... . / --- ..-. / - .... . / ..-. .. .-. ... - / .- -- . -. -.. -- . -. - / - --- / - .... . / ..- -. .. - . -.. / ... - .- - . ... / -.-. --- -. ... - .. - ..- - .. --- -.


thats the exact text

First, sorry for taking so long to respond. Here is the approach I would take:

Open the file

if that was successful:
    Start a loop to read all of the file's contents:
        Read a line from the file,
        If I detected EOF,
            Break out of the loop
        else
            Start a loop to parse the line:
                Find a "word*"
                If there are no more words,
                    Break out of this loop
                else
                    Store the work in an array
            End of inner loop
        End of outer loop


That should get you started -- let me know if have questions.
