HI guys havent been able to find how to search for specific words in a text file anywhere, so here it goes, this is what I have now and just read and prints the entire text file.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main ( void )
{
static const char filename[] = "chat.log";
FILE *file = fopen ( filename, "r" );
if ( file != NULL )
{
char line [ 128 ]; /* or other suitable maximum line size */
while ( fgets ( line, sizeof line, file ) != NULL ) /* read a line */
{
fputs ( line, stdout ); /* write the line */
}
fclose ( file );
}
else
{
perror ( filename ); /* why didn't the file open? */
}
return 0;
}
Thank you :D
Use strstr(line, word)
to look for the word anywhere inside the line. If strstr
returns non-NULL, it means the current line contains your word.
