Hi,
I'm trying to get the search word from a text/passage.
1. After finding the number of occurence of the word
in the passage, no of matches found.
2.Read the no. string with the search word as
illustrated below ("play" is word searched:
.I can "play" the piano well.
.The "play" was the best I've ever watched.
Meaning do I have read the lines with "search word"
and the punctuation "." into an array ?
3.Print out the lines with the search word as
illustrated
I hope to get some suggestions/comments , plz.
Rgds,
