[LCP] input needed

[Arjun satish]

Try to use regular expressions to group your text. There are many libraries
which give you Reg Exp support. If the text you are looking for always
occurs at a certain point in a line, just use the plain getline and then use
string apis like strchr and strtok to extract your data.

Can you give an example of the text file and the messages you are looking
for? Then probably we can you more core info.

Cheers,
Arjun

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter
