parse line function

need to turn that code into a function. I dont really do any c programming, this is a one off application needed for work.

function would be called like from main like:

while ((row = mysql_fetch_row(res)) != NULL) {
    if ( strstr ( row[2], "inseaaCC" ) ) {
         output = parselinefunction(row[2]);                           //call the function here
    }
......

the fucntion would need to return a string which i would form using sprintf from the parsed line
