Linked list

Hi,
I have two problems:
please can someone give me an algorithm that would help me to understand how to put words ( read from a file) in alphabetical order using a linked list. I just dont get it!!

Also, The words that I need to input is a real text.
but There is punctuation (",", "!",".") that I need to skip in order to continue inputting words.
I know that I can do

to skip the comma. but how can I do all the 3 punctuations in once?

Thank you for your help and time

you can input the whole file (or each line) into a buffer, and then use strtok (http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/cstring/strtok.html) to step through it, splitting on punctuation (you can specify multiple delimiters)
