One way to do it in Perl

I'm more of a Perl man, so here it is in perl:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

while ($c = <>) {
    #Process $c here!!!
}

exit 0;

put the above code in a file called something like lineExtract.pl, make it executable, then you can do the following to use it:

./lineExtract.pl <big_file_to_process

$c will contain the information one line at a time!

STRSTR(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						 STRSTR(3)

NAME
strstr, strcasestr -- locate a substring in a string LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> char * strstr(const char *big, const char *little); char * strcasestr(const char *big, const char *little); DESCRIPTION
The strstr() function locates the first occurrence of the nul-terminated string little in the nul-terminated string big. The strcasestr() function is similar to strstr(), but ignores the case of both strings. RETURN VALUES
If little is an empty string, big is returned; if little occurs nowhere in big, NULL is returned; otherwise a pointer to the first character of the first occurrence of little is returned. EXAMPLES
The following sets the pointer ptr to the "Bar Baz" portion of largestring: const char *largestring = "Foo Bar Baz"; const char *smallstring = "Bar"; char *ptr; ptr = strstr(largestring, smallstring); SEE ALSO
index(3), memchr(3), rindex(3), strchr(3), strcspn(3), strpbrk(3), strrchr(3), strsep(3), strspn(3), strtok(3) STANDARDS
The strstr() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90''). BSD
