CAN You help Re: Writing dictionary output to a file

[dont bother]

Hi Jong,
Yes I really want the location of the number matching
in the dictionary.
This is because I have to input these feature vectors
to another program which takes [index: value ] where 
index: is the value specific to dictionary.
I dont care about the addition/extension of the words
in the dictionary but for now, I really want the index
of the word in the dictionary. This is also equivalent
to the line number of the word in the dictionary.

Yes a is an integer, the total number of words in the
message.

No. This does not print the corresponding location of
the word in the dictionary, but the location of the
word in the message. I want the location/line number
of the matching word in the dictionary.
