Finally the DumpList() function outputs all words that occur ten or more times. You can see all of the words by commenting the line with an if statement out. This function also frees up all allocated memory, both the words and the structures and returns a count of how many unique words were found.
Using the changelog.txt file from Tortoise, (the Subversion gui) as input produced these results in under a second. It built up a linked list with 2,106 structs calling addword() 38,815 times.

Number of Words found = 38815
Number of unique words = 2106
Other Str Functions
In these definitions, string is a synonym for char *.- strchr() - Find character in string.
- strrchr()- Find character in string, searching from the end.

- strtok() - A persistent search (between calls) of one string in another. Can be called repeatedly.
- strxfrm() - Translate a string according to the locale.
Conclusion
C is probably not the best programming language for text processing as it uses pointers and needs careful coding. It is all too easy to introduce bugs if you're not careful!That completes this tutorial. The next one is on file handling.
