Hi

I was trying to change in the script by reading the input sentences one after another from a text file called INPUT.txt and perform the above search operation.
INPUT.txt File format is here:
Code:
hai wafam cherol makha palli adubu madu makha yaakhidre haikhre tamlakle.
hairiba waridu cherol makhada pallina adubu madu makha yaakhidre haikhre tamlaklenasu hairi.
adubu madui saruk amuk hanna khannanaba wafam thangaatkhre hairi.
.....
.....

I need help in this part, if there is no match found at all at the first search operation, then continue the searching from the second string (string2) till the sixth strinig (string6) of the sentence considering five strings at a time. If match found and retrieved, I want to modify the script in such a way that the same search operation will be repeated for the next set of five strings starting from the sixth string till the end of the sentence since the first five input strings (string1, string2, string3, string4 and string5) are already done. Thus this search operation will continue till the end of the sentence.

Thanks in advance. Smilie

fstrcasecmpi(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   fstrcasecmpi(3)

NAME
fstrcasecmpi - fuzzy comparison of two strings ignoring case SYNOPSIS
#include <fstrcmp.h> #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL #define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD #define FSTRCMP_ERROR int fstrcasecmpi(const char *string1, const char *string2); DESCRIPTION
The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2, ignoring case. RETURN VALUE
The fstrcasecmpi function returns an int value between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL. A value of 0 means the strings are utterly un-alike. A value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A value of more than FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDEN- TICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people. A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure. SEE ALSO
