With this sentence I actually tried to say that it took me quite some time/effort to get to the point that my program is doing what I want it to do.

Not always a good idea to translate sentences from ones native language into someone else.

I had to increase the length of the V_String to 512 so that the desired final string fits. Just stupid that I use the same V_string to store the SIL_Code and a few other things which are only 6 chars long. Not very efficient.

I could as well immediately write the values into the text file instead of glueing everything together and then writing it.

The program itself is fast. After hitting enter in the terminal the result appears instantly.
Before that it has to read the configuration from 3 different files, put it in the corresponding arrays and do some other operations before it actually generates the string with the result.

Thanks
