Extracting Text Between Two Words
Hi all! Im trying to extract a portion of text from a KML and put it into a new file. Im trying to get all of the points out of it, ignoring everything else so I need only the text between <Placement> and </Placement>. Is there a way to make it extract all instances of these points and not just the first one found?

xmtextgetsubstringwcs
XmTextGetSubstringWcs(3X) XmTextGetSubstringWcs(3X)
NAME
XmTextGetSubstringWcs - A Text function that retrieves a portion of a wide character internal text buffer
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Text.h>
int XmTextGetSubstringWcs (widget, start, num_chars, buffer_size, buffer)
Widget widget;
XmTextPosition start;
int num_chars;
int buffer_size;
wchar_t *buffer;
DESCRIPTION
XmTextGetSubstringWcs retrieves a copy of a portion of the internal text buffer of a Text widget that is stored in a wide character format.
The function copies a specified number of characters from a given start position in the internal text buffer into a buffer provided by the
application. A NULL terminator is placed at the end of the copied data. Specifies the Text widget ID. Specifies the beginning character
position from which the data will be retrieved. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first
character position is 0. Specifies the number of wchar_t characters to be copied into the provided buffer. Specifies the size of the sup-
plied buffer as a number of wchar_t storage locations. The minimum size is num_chars + 1. Specifies the wide character buffer into which
the internal text buffer will be copied.
For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3X).
RETURN VALUE
The function was successful. The function failed because it was unable to copy the specified number of characters into the buffer pro-
vided. The buffer size may be insufficient. The contents of buffer are undefined. The requested number of characters extended beyond the
internal buffer. The function copied characters between start and the end of the widget's buffer and terminated the string with a NULL
terminator; fewer than num_chars characters were copied.
