Question

Translates a set of english strings into spanish, using a file "words.dat" which consists of 100sets of words:

"Englishword, spanishword

Engishword, spanishword

etc."

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

#define MAXCHAR 26
#define WORDCOUNT 100

int findWord (char english[][MAXCHAR], char target[], int wordCount){//return where target is found or -1 if not found
    int i;

    for(i=0;i<wordCount;i++){
        if(strcmp(english[i],target)==0)
            return i;
    }
    return -1;

          if( UserStr[0] != '"'){
              memcpy(UserStr, UserStr+1, strlen(UserStr));
              index=findWord(english,UserStr,wordCount);//get index where UserStr is found
              if(index==-1)
                  strcpy(TranslatedStr, "***** ");
              else{
                  strcpy(TranslatedStr, spanish[index]);

                  break;//Final word translated break out of loop
              }
              index = findWord (english,UserStr,wordCount);//get index where UserStr is found

                  strcat(TranslatedStr, " "); //add space
              }
          }
          printf("%s ", TranslatedStr);
      }
// }//end while 1

printf("Press any key to continue: ");
getchar();
return 0;
}//end of main
