Input/Output Text QUESTION =(

[triumphost1]

The following code below outputs the IPconfig/all command information to a text file... The problem Ive been having all day is that I dont know how to make it read certain parts of the text file and output that on screen or to another text file... For example: This is what my program prints to the file and I want it to read the PHYSICAL ADDRESS.... XX-AA-BB-CC-DD-YY  where the letters are just variables that can be any alpha-numerical values which is different for each computer. I just cant seem to get it to read the values of the physical address... Pls help I tried using getline command, fstream, etc it reads the whole file instead of just the values of the address

This is the start of my code because I erased the rest of it since it reads the information I dont want... I only want the physical address value =(

}

// Fetches the MAC address and prints it
static void GetMACaddress(void)
{

}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

return 0;
