Thread: read certain strings from file

Hi...
i hope u guys can help me......
im quite newbie and i have a problem...ive ask around but no one knows...
i want to read a test.mdl and then detect what it say and then process the content....
this test.mdl file if ur open it will look like text file....
what i do is im using fgetc(ch) and it doesnt work but other recommended using fgetstring and ive done but there result is not as ive expected....
it dont want to detect the string....

this is the example....
the file content in test.mdl file

((procedures first) common test
((funtion one)
(methode 1)
(methode 2)
(end function))
(end procedure))

i want only to extract

((funtion one)
(methode 1)
(methode 2)
(end function))

from the full system and the result should be like below

function one
methode 1
methode 2
end function

the reason is that i can know what and how many methode contain in function one in the test.mdl file...

im using the fgets function and it dont comes out quit well...it doesnt go to second line and it dont detect the string at all as i want to....the condition is like below
if (the text) = "function one" then fprintf the whole string until it find the (end function) string
please help me if u gurus, seniors, have any idea or solution how to code....im using c++, am very glad i anyone can help me on this problem....

tq u so much dwks...yes strcmp and strncmp is a solution but how do we compare just certain string from the whole line in a file....

eg.
(function one (procedure two
(methode three) (methode four) end procedure) end function)

the progrm runs and the result should be just like below

function one
procedure two
methode three
methode four
end proicedure
end function

the procedure, function and methode could be anything and may be many methode and function....and the program runs and final result you can extract the function is one, proc is two, there are two methode....in a file

that is the problem i cant pull the certain word from the line....i can compare and store the procedure but how can i store only the procedure name ( in this case is one). the function name should be store but in another coding and the same goes for the methode....how can we extract and divide them and put them in different file....

last result

in procedure file
one

in function file
two

in methode file
three
four

so i can detect the name from the file...could you help me....it gives me big headaches....
