Thread: search for text

hey all,

can some one throw me a bone and tell me why this cant find the word cin? the rest of the program tests ok, so the mistake is with my logic

Code:

for(counter=0;counter<text.size();counter++)
{
 if(text[counter]=='c' && text[counter+1]=='i' && text[counter+2]=='n')
  {
  cout<<"cin found!";
  }
    counter++;
                        
}

of course it is lame, I have 2 weeks experience, any suggestions?
