I have a question as I am unable to follow your thread. Do you want each of the values separated by the pipe symbol "|" to be stored into a separate variable and what do you want to do with them afterwards?

Attached is a basic idea if I'm getting you right. Untested and using GNU format string extensions. YMMV.

This is what i actually need :

eg:

aaaaaa|11111111|sssssssssss|333333|ddddddddd|34343454564|asass
aaaaaa|11111111|sssssssssss|333333|ddddddddd|34343454564|asass

my c program should read the first line and
then store
aaaaaaa in some variable x
11111111111 in some variable y and so on .......

program will identify the strings that are written b/w two delimiters
i.e '|'
store in variable x till i reach the next delimiter than to the next delimiter is stored in variable y.
