Finding a specific string in an array of strings

2
Hey Folks, I'm looking for some help here.
My talks entails reading in book titles from a single text file and assigning them to an array of strings.
I have this part working fine with each word being assigned to a different array index.

I am however stuck on a task whereby the user can input a title and it's required to search the string array for that title and return the title stating that it is in stock.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Where are you stuck? Is it on a specific syntax issue, or an algorithmic issue? Have you looked at (if this is C++ - I can't remember if it's in C or not) strtok() ?

It's ok, the problem's been solved via use of a single string and the == operator.
