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

Spring Boot and Vaadin : Filtering rows in Vaadin Grid

By -
Adding a text field for filtering: Start by adding a text field above the grid. Remember, MainView is a VerticalLayout, so you need to add the text field before the grid. MainView.java public class MainView extends VerticalLayout {   private ContactService contactService;   private Grid<Contact> grid = new Grid<>(Contact.class);   private TextField filterText = new TextField(); ①   public MainView(ContactService contactService) {   this.contactService = contactService;   addClassName("list-view");   setSizeFull();   configureFilter(); ②   configureGrid();   add(filterText, grid); ③   updateList();   }   private void configureFilter() {   filterText.setPlaceholder("Filter by name..."); ④   filterText.setClearButtonVisible(true); ⑤   filterText.setValueChangeMode(ValueChangeMode.LAZY); ⑥   filterText.addValueChangeListener(e -> updateList()); ⑦   }   // Grid...
