Thanks @ramya but can you tell which function should i use?
i'm using following program to find character between [,] for first file but then i want to replace it with the data from other the file
fPOut = fopen("final.txt", "r");

if(fPOut)

{

printf("The file is\n\n");

do

{

scanf("%c", &a[1]);
fgets(cString ,2000 ,fPOut);

char* cStart = strchr(cString, '[');
cStart++;
char* cEnd = strtok(cString, "]");
cEnd = '\0';
// fprintf(fpOut," %s\n",cStart);
printf("%s",cStart);
i++;

}

while(i

}

fclose(fPOut);

}

is there any other good approach to parse the file please tell...

Procedure is

1. Load the file using appropriate file loader if its a XML file then load it using xdicument if its word use Microsoft.interop

2. Find for the exact pattern to be replaced and replace it
