title: Ignoring several different words.. c++?
body: <p>I'm reading in several documents, and indexing the words I read in. However, I want to ignore common case words (a, an, the, and, is, or, are, etc). </p>
  
  <p>Is there a shortcut to doing this? Moreso than doing just...</p>
  
  <p>if(word=="and" || word=="is" || etc etc....) ignore word;</p>
  
  <p>For example, can I put them into a const string somehow, and have it just check against the string? Not sure... thank you!</p>
