C/C++ :: Read Strings From File And Place Into Multidimensional Array

I am having problems figuring out how to place a list of strings from a text file into a multidimensional array that is something like words[NUM_WORDS][MAX_LEN]. I already run through the file once and count the number of words in it. I have tried a number of loops using fscanf and fgets, but I'm not sure if I am using them right -- this is my first time using them. The text file is a list of words in a dictionary, so the wordCount is about 45340.

Here is my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_LEN 46
int main(){
int wordCount = 0;
FILE *inputFile, *outputFile;

[Code] ....

Like I said, the wordCount portion works. I added the printf statements at the end to see if anything was being saved, but it just prints two new blank lines. New to file reading and writing.
