Thread: Trying to use strstr

This should take you literally 2 minutes.

Here is my new code based on all the suggestions. Obviously I'm too stupid to figure this out. Since it should take 2 minutes and its taken me way too long.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void checkString(char c);

int main()
{
   char c[50];
   fgets(c, 50, stdin);

   while (c != EOF)
   {
      checkValue(c);
      c = getchar();
   }
   return(0);
}

void checkString(char *c)
{
   char *ptr_to_string = malloc(sizeof(char) * 100);
   strcpy(ptr_to_string, *c);
   char *find = strstr(ptr_to_string, "lb");
   if (*find != null)
   {
      puts("Input contains lb");
   }
}
