Ok, hope I can clear it this time. Sorry if I get confusing sometimes but my english is not the best.
I'll explain the implementation inside comments:
#define BUFFSIZE 1024
int main()....
char buff[BUFFSIZE];
char delims[] = " "; /*Where your strtok will split the string*/
char *result = NULL;
char *device; /*To save your device - in your example: 12345*/
char *date; /*To save the date*/
int stop = 0;
fp = fopen("yourFile", "r");
while( fgets(buff, BUFFSIZE,fp) != NULL ) /*This returns null when the file is over*/
{
result = strtok( buff, delims ); /*You just need to do reference to buff here, after this, strtok uses delims to know where to do the next token*/
while(result != NULL){ /*Strtok returns null when finishes reading the given string*/
if(strcmp(result,"Device")==0){ /*strcmp returns 0 if the strings are equal*/
result = strtok(NULL, delims); /*this one gets the 12345*/
device = (char*)malloc((strlen(result)+1)*sizeof(char)); /*Alocate the right amount of memory for the variable device*/
strcpy(device, result); /*Now, device is "12345"*/
}
/*Here you do the same but for the string 'Date'*/
if(strcmp(result,"Date")==0){ /*strcmp returns 0 if the strings are equal*/
result = strtok(NULL, delims); /*this one gets the 12345*/
date = (char*)malloc((strlen(result)+1)*sizeof(char)); /*Alocate the right amount of memory for the variable device*/
strcpy(date, result); /*Now, device is "12/12/12"*/
}
/*And you can repeat the if statement for every string you're looking for*/
result = strtok(NULL,delims); /*Get the next token*/
}
}
/*No strtok necessary here */
...
Hope this helps.
