Assuming you're actually looking for a *substring* of a line in the file and not a *word* (which would require, as @elgonzo indicated, figuring out how to deal with spacing and word boundaries in general), you should look up information about the function `strstr`. But also, `strstr` wants to accept a string to search in, and you're currently reading your file one character at a time. Make your life easier and read up on `fgets` too.
