I'm fairly new at programming and ran into something which i can't
solve.

On the one side list of items: (basically constants)
wheel
door
engine
window
heater
....and so on

On the other side a text file with an unknow amount of lines and each
line should be checked to see if it contains one of the words on that
list.

I could do it with a load of if else and strstr() but that seems
rather silly.
How would i go about this?

Cheers,
William
