Hi,

use the strstr function which gives you back the position of the first occurence of the wanted char's. Than read from the beginning of the string till this position.

when i need to read from a file till the occurence of a specific pattern i use a self written function which reads byte by byte and checks if i read the pattern i am looked for. post me a pm if you need those code.
