    Question Read file

    Ok so I made 2 parts to my program and I need to make the third and (hopefully) last part of it. So I will explain what the other parts do, one part has the user input the date and a string of text. then it puts it into a .txt file to be accessed later. And one part makes the date in the form of a number, kind of like this...
    january = 01,
    the first of the month = 01,
    the year = 2010.
    then it puts it all together to equal 01012010

    I just need to find a way so the program can read the text file, look for all the lines that start with that code and put the text that follows on the screen. but I dont know if there is a function that can read individual lines or not, or if there is already a function for this or something. So please help. thanks.

    fgets will read a line into a buffer, sscanf will parse it.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
