Thank you Corona688. I actually had stdio.h in my code, but did not copy it correctly when pasting to this thread. I found strtok was used when using delimeters in C when I looked up a lot of examples. I used strtok_r to be thread safe for later.
There's no doubt this could be more easily done with Bash, but when you are parsing multiple lists that are millions of lines in length, C seemed like a better option. Plus I have more to do that would be better used with C in this project.
I appreciate all your suggestions and will review all this tonight in hopes of making this better and cleaner. As will most of my projects, I think being sleep deprived got to me.
Thanks

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
deb-old
deb-old(5) Debian deb-old(5)
NAME
deb-old - old style Debian binary package format
SYNOPSIS
filename.deb
DESCRIPTION
The .deb format is the Debian binary package file format. This manual page describes the old format, used before Debian 0.93. Please see
deb(5) for details of the new format.
FORMAT
The file is two lines of format information as ASCII text, followed by two concatenated gzipped ustar files.
The first line is the format version number padded to 8 digits, and is 0.939000 for all old-format archives.
The second line is a decimal string (without leading zeroes) giving the length of the first gzipped tarfile.
Each of these lines is terminated with a single newline character.
The first tarfile contains the control information, as a series of ordinary files. The file control must be present, as it contains the
core control information.
In some very old archives, the files in the control tarfile may optionally be in a DEBIAN subdirectory. In that case, the DEBIAN subdirec-
tory will be in the control tarfile too, and the control tarfile will have only files in that directory. Optionally the control tarfile may
contain an entry for `.', that is, the current directory.
The second gzipped tarfile is the filesystem archive, containing pathnames relative to the root directory of the system to be installed on.
The pathnames do not have leading slashes.
