This code snippet reads lines from a file and finds lines containing a specific substring. Here's a breakdown of what the code does:
-
Variable Initialization:
int trovato = 0;
- The variable
trovato
is initialized to 0. It acts as a flag to indicate if any matching line containing the substring was found (1
if found,0
otherwise).
- The variable
-
Reading the File:
while (fgets(riga, sizeof(riga), file)) {
- The
fgets
function reads a line from the filefile
into the bufferriga
(assumed to be a character array declared earlier). It stops reading when it reaches the end of the line or the buffer size. The loop continues until all lines are read or EOF (end-of-file) is reached.
- The
-
Searching for the Substring:
if (strstr(riga, chiave)) {
- The
strstr(riga, chiave)
function checks if the stringchiave
(assumed to be declared elsewhere) is found within the current lineriga
. Ifchiave
exists withinriga
, this condition evaluates totrue
.
- The
-
Outputting the Matching Line:
fputs(riga, stdout);
- If the substring
chiave
is found inriga
, the matching line is printed to the standard output (stdout
) usingfputs
.
- If the substring
-
Updating the Flag:
trovato = 1;
- The variable
trovato
is set to 1 to indicate that at least one matching line was found.
- The variable
Summary:
This code searches for lines in a file that contain a specific substring (chiave
). For each matching line, it prints the line to the standard output and sets the flag trovato
to 1. At the end of the loop, trovato
will indicate if a match was found (1
) or not (0
).
