Thread: Late night part 2

I hope this isn't a simple answer again, but my work situation doesn't allow me to code the hours i like and as often as I like. The following code emualtes C's STRSTR. however, i noticed it returns only from token[1] and up. Token being the second string argument.

I could do some simple exception handling. But i'd prefer to know why it doesn't return the first address.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#define FIND "s"

char *MyStrstr(char *word, char *str);
int main(void){

    char *word="superca9038jfcmcdldfjdf";
    char *KeyFound = MyStrstr(word,FIND);
    if (KeyFound){
     puts("found it");
     printf("Your looking for \"%s\" ",KeyFound);
 }    
     
    else
     puts("Can't find it");
      
    getchar();
    return 0;
}


char *MyStrstr(char *word, char *tok){
    
    while(*word++){
    if (*word == *tok)
        	return word;
     }   	
     return NULL;
 }

lol, take a break man, late night coding gets to yah pretty easily.
-edit-
and wait, this is late night? What time zone are you in?

Thanks

EST. Its just i work all day and when i get home its too late. The only really good time i get is in the early morning before work. then i'm usaully in the zone. I do the late night coding cause sometimes if it's not too much of a bug I can learn it, sleep on it, and have my brain work better to understand it.
Then there are annoying simple bugs like these .....

True. And a really bad one at that. The second parameter in the protoype should be of type int not char - if it was to be a prototype for strchr. Again i was coding it late night. I'll go add that strncmp line. thanks for pointing it out. @ me
