C++ Help Plz

[Kibblre]

So, I'm doing an assignment where I have to take a text file, analyze the number of words and distinct words, and then print out the most used words and their frequencies. It works like a charm, but when using large files (like we need to handle) my method of searching through the amount of words to see if it is distinct takes ****ing forever. Can anyone help me make this more efficient?

Here's the code (pastebin so it keeps formatting):

An easy way to do so that is much more efficient is to loop through every word, and add 1 to array[word] (or create it with a value of 1 if it doesn't exists). Once this is done, you only have to find the biggest value in array[].
