I was wondering how I could make a 2 dimensional array of strings where the values are read from an input file. The input file would be called something like "input.dat" and it would contain data like this:
banco bank
regalo present
camiseta shirt
...

and the words would need to be written to a 2D array of strings, like this:
list[][] = { "banco", "regalo", "camiseta"
"bank", "present", "shirt"};

and from an input file of undetermined size. This is for a dictionary.

Thanks,

Igor

I am assuming this is c++? if so, I suggest using a class that holds the pair in a linked list or queue.

Hope this helps,

They mostly come at night...mostly

You could also use a map from the standard template library (STL).

...
struct ltstr
{
bool operator()(const char* s1, const char* s2) const
{
return strcmp(s1, s2) < 0;
}
};
...

map<const char*, int, ltstr> translator;
translator["bank"] = "banco";

...

etc.

If your dictionary gets too big you will have to be able to search from your disk drive.
