=0Aof the substring I want but I don't know how to make that into a new=0D=
=0Astring=2E=0D=0AHere is the code for my function:=0D=0A=0D=0Avoid file(ch=
ar *str)=0D=0A{=0D=0A	char *sub1 =3D "START";=0D=0A	char *sub2 =3D "END";=
=0D=0A	char *ptr1;=0D=0A	char *ptr2;=0D=0A=0D=0A 	ptr1 =3D strstr(str, sub1=
);=0D=0A	ptr2 =3D strstr(str, sub2);=0D=0A=0D=0A	printf("1ST SUBSTRING POIN=
TER -->%d<--\n", ptr1);=0D=0A	printf("2ND SUBSTRING POINTER -->%d<--\n", pt=
r2);=0D=0A=0D=0A	return;=0D=0A}=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0ADoes that look right? Also=
