Thanks again Ken for your help. Believe me, I would love to be able to use your code (it would save me so much time and frustration). And, it's not that I didn't appreciate it the last time, it's just that after hours spent looking at your code, I still couldn't make any sense out of it. Gosh, you've even got embedded assembly in your code! And I figured it would just be faster to build something on my own.
I would like to mention to other that have suggested hashes and other techniques to store this word list. My main background is electrical engineering so I'm kind've at a disadvantage when it comes to writing creative data structures, etc. I know what a tree is and what a hash is, but my trouble comes when I try to manipulate the original word list such that it can be read like a "tree" or a "hash". A tree is basically a bunch of pointers, but I don't think it's efficient to store a bunch of pointers, so... Like one of the last poster said, it's just "Basic issues of programming". I think I do pretty good with my limited knowledge of data structures, but this one has really got me struggling. Anyway, thanks again Ken and to everyone for your great advice! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
