Pattern matching programming

[<fabio@crearium.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to code a small C program that basically takes a long text
file with data that comes from a mysql server.

But I realize It is better to use regular expression. This is an examples
of the text:

=1 <p> blah </p> <div foo>{$foobar}</div>blah.... <p>linux rulez</p>
misc characters.... =2 blah blah <p> linux rulez again</p>.... <p>foo</p?blah


And so on.

The patterns are:

The record is represented by an equal. Ej, record 1 is "=1", record 2 is
"=2" and so on.

The desired text is where "linux rulez" is inside, it is the FIRST <p>
</p> AFTER a record.

So, I see that program this makes no sense because it is better to use sed
and awk.

The result I want to have is something like:

1 linux rulez
2 linux rulez again
3 linux rulez so far
...etc

The idea is elimate all <div>'s tags, then get the numbers (maybe with awk
-F"="), and then get the next <p> taq, remove the tags themself and
numbers and then the text and do the same procedure for all the 65230
records.

Thanks alot for any comment, sorry for the 'offtopic'

Kind regards,
