how can I serch a word in a txt?
I have a text and it is for example :"hellow hellow hi hi good bye."

You could use a loop to go through each word in the file until you find the correct one.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <limits>

int main() {
std::string input;
std::ifstream infile("myfile.txt"); // You may have a different filename, but this is just an example.
while (input != "bye") {
infile >> input;
}
infile.close(); 
std::cout << input << std::endl; // Just to make sure...
std::cout << "Press the 'Enter' key to close the program.";
std::cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), '\n');
return 0;
}

This will only work if there are newlines between every word in your file, though. You may have to try a different approach if your file really is laid out like that.

oh thanks a lot but the problem is that I can not convert this to VC++ .if you know this could you pleas write this code into VC++?

Sorry it didn't compile. It was because I forgot to include the 'limits' file. It should be fixed now. :)

but it didn't work in VC++

Did you include 'stdafx.h'? Sorry, I do not use Visual Studio. I use Code::Blocks with MinGW.
