Reading substring from a line

Hi Guys,

I have create a C program to read a file line by line, but I am interested in knowing how can I read say from character 10 to 20 of a line? Is there a fast way to do this?

Sadly I can only use C...

Best regards
Henry

Re: Reading substring from a line

Hi Henry,

like inthe answer above, read the whole line in your variable and copy the letters you want to another. What are you planning to do? It may be easier to script it.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
