find a word in a string.

my problem is that im unable to match a user input word to a word in a string. the strings are in a file and then placed in nodes. i have to go through each token in each node to find the 'word'.
but my code doesn't work. how can i make my code to understand that word: "night" == token in node: "night." .

Your code doesn't even compile; you have to fix that first.
