How to read a Text file from server and store to a separate variable?

Question

I am working on reading a text file from the server, using http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/GSMClientConnected. It gives me this code:

char path[]="/asciilogo.txt"

I want to store only the contents that are inside the text file to a variable (String). But client.read(); only reads a single character at a time. Also, it takes all the HTTP, GET, TIME parameters together.

How to store only the contents that are present in the text file to a string variable?

Answer 1

Here is what I found:

You need to have a special character like "*" (a delimiter), from which important data will flow through.

char z = '*';
int s=0;

void setup()
{ 
  // usual initialization  
} 

void loop()
{
  if (client.available())  
  {
    char c = client.read();
    // Serial.print(c);
    if (z == c)
    {
      s=1;
    }

  if(s == 1)
  {
    int i=0;
    k[i] = c;
    i=i+1;
    // Serial.print(k);
  }

  place +=k;

  Serial.print(place);

  }
