It would help to actually include a sample few lines in a computer 
readable format. Thanks to Ben for typing it in, I tried it using 
external parsing:

command="perl -F'\"' -lane 'print \"$F[5] $F[9]\"' /tmp/bitcoin"
FD=popen(command,'r');

here, I was hoping that something like this would work:

a=fscanf(FD,"%d %d")

but I wasn't successful. How does one read a datastream from popen?
