I'm slightly confused here. Are you asking how to format the output of your program? Or are you asking now to read in the file that was described at the beginning of your post and output it as you described in part two of your post?

If the second thing I said then what you could do is make your program pick up on keywords. You would of course tokenize the input file stream (strtok would do) compare it to a table of keywords (such as "transmit" and "started") then do your formatting.

I also am unsure of exactly what they need. It seems like they just want to print all of the lines with 'MM' at the start. If this is the case, the fix is easy:

Code:

fgets( buf, BUFSIZ, fp );
if( buf[0] == 'M' && buf[1] == 'M' )
    fputs( buf, stdout );

Otherwise you ignore the line.
