I was trying to read a file and find words in it (scripting engine) and can''t figure out how to find out whether a word is in the string i''ve read with fgets. Pleas help.. " Do we need us? "

strcspn() is for something else entirely

You need strstr(). It returns a pointer to wherever it found the substring in the main string, or NULL if it isn''t there.

Or, you simply use the standard-string class function: std::string::find();
