Question

I have a file called file.txt and it has this structure:

owner_name    : first_last_name
filesize      : 1000
is_legal_file : yes
date          : someDate

.
.
.

I want to get the value in fileSize. (1000 in this example.)

How do I get this information?

Answer 1

Read the file line by line until the second line, then strtok() the second line by : and you’ll have two strings: filesize and 1000, then you could use atoi().
