Searching for data inside a file
I have a script which read user input and append data to file. It is a html file. Now I need a script to search this file and print html page in returns.
The entires are separated by hardlines.
Is there a way to search such a file ?

That's right - you can search it in many ways , I think there are at least 3 ways of doing it :
1) Use "grep" , it returns lines matching a word or a regular expression.
2) Use a shell script reading line by line , better a perl script
3) Use in C something like
while(fgets(buf,80,fp)!=NU LL) if(strcmp(match,buf)) do_something() ;
