String Comparison

Applications Programming
1

Hi all,

I have a file like this

ibhib=ere
wefwfl=werfe
sfdes=wef

From this file, i need to get the lefthand side string with respect to the corresponding righthand side string. i.e, I need to get the string "ere" with respect to "ibhib".

But i am stuck with how to compare a string from a file. using getc can get the lefthand side string in an array(But how)?? Any help wil b greatly appreciated...
