STRCHR
. Summary
strchr(str <s>, int <pos>, int <c);
. Description
The strchr function is used to search for a character within a
string. <s> is the string to search, and <pos> is the starting posi-
tion of the search, and <c> is the character (ASCII value) to search
for. If the character, its offset is returned, otherwise a value of
-1 is returned. Note that the first character in a string has an
offset of 0, not 1 as in some languages.
. Return Value
An integer value as described above.
. Example
// Count how many times a certain char occurs in a string
int i, count = 0;
str s[] = "abcabcabcabcabc";
i = 0;
do
{
i = strchr(s, i, 'a');
if (i != -1)
count = count + 1;
}
while (i != -1);
