Ok, I need to read all the lines from a file and run a custom search in each line.

Fine.

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

	char* pattern = argv[1];
	string line;
	ifstream myFile(argv[2]);

	if (myFile.is_open())
	{
		while (!myFile.eof())
		{
			getline(myFile,line);
			if (search(pattern, line) == true)
			{
				cout << "yep";
			}
		}
		myFile.close();
	}
}

bool search(char pattern[], char text[]);

you need to tokenize the string

or just include the string class and use the find() function

[Edited on September 21, 2006 at 9:10 PM. Reason : is parse and tokenize the same thing?]

const_cast<char*>(line.c_str()))

and there are no compiler errors

and thanks for bringing that up
