    strstr

    I have the char *ptr returned form strstr, but I am wondering how to get it to be an index in an array
    Code:
    char *ptr;
    char string[]="This is a string\n");
    char what_to_look_for[]="a string");
    
    if((ptr=strstr(string,what_to_look_for))!=NULL){
         printf("Found it...It is the %ith character",???);
    }
    I have tried typecasting it to an int, but it gives me the memory address. Does anyone have any ideas?
