Thread: Read text file line by line and write lines to other files

Hello,
How can read the file /var/etc/allInOne.cfg and split it into mltiple cfg files.

the source file "/var/etc/allInOne.cfg "look like this:

line1
line2
...
line10
filePath:/var/etc/file1.cfg
line12
line13
...
line14
filePath:/var/etc/file2.cfg
linen
..
filePath:/var/etc/filen.cfg

Code:

void genCfg(int err)
{
// create a buffer to read the allInOne.cfg.
char buf[512];
char linesbuf[2048];;
// declare the variables we will use in this function
// open temporary file cotaining the data 
FILE *f = fopen("/var/etc/allInOne.cfg", "rt");
if (f)
{
 while (fgets(buf, 512, f)
 {
 // if we found this string the we can stop to read and create the cfg file then continue the read
 if (strstr(buf, "filePath:")) {
                                FILE *fp;
                                fp = fopen(buf,"w"); //the buf contain the path and filename
                                /*Create a file and add text*/
                                printf(fp,"%s",lines); /*writes data to the file*/
                                fclose(fp); /*done!*/
                                lines = ""; initialize lines for next cfg file
 }
 else 
  //store the line in the variable		       
  lines += buf;
}
// close file
fclose(f);
return 0
}
}
