Thread: Finding string after another string at an unknown location in a file

I am relatively new to C programming and much that i once know I've forgotten so maybe i just need a little nudge in the right direction.

I have a long body of text and I'm attempting to look through it until i find a specific sequence of characters.

Once i get to that point i want to save the next certain amount of characters as a different string.

My thought was to use fprintf command but then id fave to get to that point first.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Here is a sample of my text file

<Folder id="layer 0">
<name>pls_10_rev_nad83</name>
<Placemark>
<styleUrl>#falseColor0</styleUrl>
<ExtendedData>
<SchemaData schemaUrl="#S_pls_10_rev_nad83_DDDDSSSSIDDSSSSSS">
<SimpleData name="AREA">497297</SimpleData>
<SimpleData name="PERIMETER">3474.15</SimpleData>

I would want it to output:
497297, 3474.15
