Printing sections of a text file with C

By -

I'm looking for a solution on how to print only relevant sections from a log file where I want to display the code and its contents which spans multiple lines.

The log file is structured like this:

----- start -----
CODE: 1111

DESC: this is some descriptions
      which spans multiple lines.
-----  end  -----

----- start -----
CODE: 2222

DESC: this is some information
      for another code.
-----  end  -----

----- start -----
CODE: 1111

DESC: here is some more info
      for the code again.
-----  end  -----

What I like to achieve if to parse the log file using C, to generate a result similar to this.

----- start -----
CODE: 1111

DESC: this is some descriptions
      which spans multiple lines.
-----  end  -----

----- start -----
CODE: 1111

DESC: here is some more info
      for the code again.
-----  end  -----

I have tried various while loops reading the file into a buffer and compared the strings with strstr() etc. but haven't find any logic with if statements that works for me. I have tried to explore the use of fseek(), fgetpos(), fsetpos() etc. I have searched forums and blogs for answer that can help me forward with little success.

If anyone reading this has a solution to share or any pointer on how I should tackle this, or places to find such information would be much appreciated.

Spring Elasticsearch Operations

By -
Elasticsearch Operations Spring Data Elasticsearch uses two interfaces to define the operations that can be called against an Elasticsearch index. These are ElasticsearchOperations and ReactiveElasticsearchOperations. Whereas the first is used with the classic synchronous implementations, the second one uses reactive infrastructure. The default implementations of the interfaces offer: Read/Write mapping support for domain types. A rich query and criteria api. Resource management and Exception translation. ElasticsearchTemplate The ElasticsearchTemplate is an implementation of the ElasticsearchOperations interface using the Transport Client. @Configuration public class TransportClientConfig extends ElasticsearchConfigurationSupport {   @Bean   public Client elasticsearchClient() throws UnknownHostException {                      Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")....

Hibernate Search - Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation

By -
Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation Elasticsearch ships with many features. It is possible that at some point, one feature you need will not be exposed by the Search DSL. To work around such limitations, Hibernate Search provides ways to: Transform the HTTP request sent to Elasticsearch for search queries. Read the raw JSON of the HTTP response received from Elasticsearch for search queries. Direct changes to the HTTP request may conflict with Hibernate Search features and be supported differently by different versions of Elasticsearch. Similarly, the content of the HTTP response may change depending on the version of Elasticsearch, depending on which Hibernate Search features are used, and even depending on how Hibernate Search features are implemented. Thus, features relying on direct access to HTTP requests or responses cannot be guaranteed to continue to work when upgrading Hibernate Search, even for micro upgrades (x.y.z to x.y.(z+1)). Use this at your own risk....
