- How to locate words in a text file?...
- Posted by Kellie Fitton on February 14th, 2005
Hello,
Is there a win32 API that will help me find a specific word or
words in a text file? For example, if I open a text file and
want to locate the word "Hello" -- if this word exist, then the
function would highlight the word and its location in the file.
thanks for the help. Kellie.

You can use strstr() or StrStr() for case sensitive searches or
StrStrI() for case-insensitive, assuming the text file is all
in one string.

Unless your teacher require that you write the search code yourself...

Hmm. Well, doesn't typing up the strstr() call count? :-)

Another option is to load the file into a Rich Edit control
and then use the EM_FINDTEXT message to do the text search.
