string.h

I am trying to make a program that will search the entire file called stu.txt for the words "the" and "The." Also, if there is a word such as "othello" or "Theodore" it should recognize that the words it is searching for is located imn another word. Then it should record what position the "the" or "The" is inside another word....so if the program came accros "Theodore" it would record 0 because thats where "The" starts.

ifstream in("input.txt"

char buffer[256];
char* ptr;
while(!in.eof && in.peek() != EOF)
{
in>>buffer;
ptr = strstr(buffer,"the"
if(ptr)
// location = ptr - buffer (looks weird but will get value)

ptr = strstr(buffer,"The"
// same as above


}
