I wrote a program that acts like a grep only it greps the line you are
looking for and the line above it. I would like to be able to do
something like:
rest "restart" /usr/bin/adm/sa/sar24
or
rest "restart" < /usr/bin/adm/sa/sar24
currently my program does the second of the two listed above. If I use
file pointers and fopen will the program still work if I try to pipe input
into it? below are the two functions I currently use to get the line
and check to see if the string is in the line.
int getline(char s[], int lim) /* reads in the line from the file/stdin */
{
int c,i;
i = 0;
while (--lim > 0 && (c=getchar()) != EOF && c != '\n')
s[i++] = c;
if (c == '\n')
s[i++] = c;
s[i] = '\0';
return(i);
}
/* if the following function returns a value greater than 0 the it writes the
line that was rad in getline to to the screen */
int index(char s[], char t[])
{
int i,j,k;
for (i = 0; s[i] != '\0'; i++) {
for (j = i, k = 0; t[k] !='\0' && s[j] == t[k]; j++,k++)
;
if (t[k] == '\0')
return(i);
}
return(-1);
}
