Finding a string input in a 2D char array

I have code that reads in a paragraph of words from a .txt file. How would I go about finding a string that a user inputs into the program? I read in the text as a char, so perhaps I should change the user input into a string?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

if you are using C++ you could read the text into a string which you put in a vector. you can search the vector using an iterator

Okay, I did all that, now I'm using the find() function for iterator. I also want to make a count of how many of word are there in the text. I have a count variable set up, but how would I change the index of the find function? I did the line.begin() to start it off.
