let me make sure I understand the problem :
So, you have a file of english words. when the program starts it prompts the user to enter a char string of no longer than 5 elements, then the program will scan through the file to see if all the characters of user input match any of the words in the file; if so it will output all the matching(created) words.
Example : say your file file.dat contains
beer
apple
bread
read
dear
dare
and you enter as input : aerd
then your program will spit out the 3 words in the file : read, dear, dare since they match all chars in the input. Is that correct? Or should it match the whole word as is, that is, if you enter aerd, it will look necessarily for aerd?
