depends on how u want to do it...do u wan to first read the file and then search (which makes it easier.. but not so when u have a networked environment..

) or do u want to search the file in real time..much like a random access file..

maybe u can use fgetts() to get buffer line by line,and use the buffer and compare it?
e.g:

CODE

FILE out = _ftopen(..);
if(out!=NULL)
{
while(fgets(buffer,3000,..)!=NULL)//forgot the syntax
{
if(_tcsstr(_T("name"),buffer) == 0 || _tcsstr(_T("id"),buffer) == 0)
{
//found,so u can use a better function to get the pointer to the exact array,i forgot the name. check it in msdn
}
}
}

//please correct me if im wrong
