char fileName[100];
char exitFilename[4]="exit";
char searchString[200];
do
{
printf("Enter the terminal to display in");
scanf("%s",fileName);
printf("Enter the text to display");
scanf("%s",searchString);
result = SearchingString(fileName, searchString);
}
while(strcmp(fileName,exitFilename) != 0);
  
return 0;
}
int SearchingString(char *fname, char *str) {
  
int line_num = 1;
int find_result = 0;
char temp[512];
FILE *fp=fopen(fname,"r");
while(fgets(temp, 512, fp) != NULL) {
if((strstr(temp, str)) != NULL) {
printf("A match found on line: %d ", line_num);
printf(" %s ", temp);
find_result++;
}
line_num++;
}

if(find_result == 0) {
printf(" Sorry, couldn't find a match. ");
