What is the meaning of "ao dar com" I saw a sentence. Eis um súdito, exclamou o rei ao dar com o principezinho. As I know, "dar" means "give". But, it seems that "dar" is used as a difference meaning in that sentence.

It means: encounter, meet, be face to face to. (This is sense of the verb is rare, even if followed by the preposition 'com').

He is in the pronominal verb function, there is a "-se" implied for the verb. Make sense of an event occurring in a period of time. Generally it is used "dá-se", but to avoid an effect called "cacofonia" is advisable to omit the pronoun. Look: 1 - "Eis um súdito, exclamou o rei ao dá-se com o principezinho." (cacofonia is seems with a word; "audácia") 2 - "Eis um súdito, exclamou o rei ao dar com o principezinho." (is the same, so ... means encounter someone.)

besides its usual meaning "give", portuguese verb "dar" may have other meanings. In the sentence you provided it means "to come across", "encounter", like unexpectedely meet someone or something. "Dar-se com" + somenone, means "to get along" with him,her. It's not the case here. and there are still a lot of other meanings...
