int Test ( char* mm, char* i, int offset )
Find position of first occurrence of a case-insensitive string
Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of i in the mm string. Note that the i may be a string of one or more characters. If i is not found, Test() will return -1.
Can anyone help with this function?
Sure. What's your problem?Originally Posted by kwikwisi
We don't DO your homework for you. You show us your work, and tell us what your problem is, and we'll assist you with that problem.
Perhaps for a string search, you should be looking at string functions?
any other inputs??
like the complexity etc and also
u perhaps want me to write "strcasecmp" ??

Actually I'm not familier with C Program and I'm .Net programmer.
May i request it for some urgent usage?
Thanks in advance
A simple solution is to use toupper() (or tolower()) to make the case of both the subject and search strings (or a copy of them) uniform, and then use strstr() to find the address of the initial char of the substring. To get the position of the substring from this address, subtract the address of the initial char of the subject string (assuming that strstr() does not return NULL, in which case the search string is not a substring since it cannot be found in the subject string).

So what have you got so far, what exactly are you struggling with?
You must understand that we are not here to write your assignment for you. We will help you overcome stumbling blocks where you do not understand something, but to do that, we need to see where you are at and exactly what you are struggling to do.
If you haven't written any code yet, perhaps you can write it in "pseudo-code", which is more like English to describe what you want to do.
