hello, im normally used to c++, but i now am trying to complete some basic tasks using 'c', i apologise now im not very good!.
I have a string and i want to see if a specific criteria appears in it
for example look for '45' in the string ' 45 dogs'
I have herd of something called "str begin" but i have no idea how to work it and cant really find any help on the net, can anyone offer any advice?
Not sure exactly what you are asking for. To get at individual characters, you can use str[n] where n is the position you want. You can also write a function that copies part of a string into another string, using a loop and the str[n] access.
I'm pretty sure a basic tutorial of strings, like the one in the tutorial section of cprogramming.com, would be able to tell you more than I can in a shortish post.

i see, you could be right however i was advised towards str-begin using syntax like
but for some reason it doesnt like strbegin. I believe it returns a positive int if a match occurs, however i havent got that far yetCode:string mystring = "45 dogs in a house"; strbegin ("45", mystring);
I'm pretty sure strbegin isn't a standard function. It would not be hard to write one (in fact, strncmp() does almost the same thing, you just need to apply strlen on the first string).

Have a look at strstr(), this is probably what you are looking for.
I know I should stop ending sentences with prepositions, but that's something I will not put up with.
