Thread: strstr example

Can someone show me an example of strstr and/or strcasestr please? I'd like to use it to check for a certain number of letters after the specified number.

Code:

example:
1 This would be the text I'm searching for
2 not this
3 not this

strstr(str1,str2) will return the index of the first occurance of str1 in str2, so if you wanted everything up to number 2 as in your example,

strstr(myCstring,2) will return the index of the number 2 in your string, thus you would take everything from 0 to the returned index - 1

In my program I'm using integers as the sign things, that won't work. Is there another function that uses numbers in the sameway this function uses letters?

do u want to find text after 1. and before 2.?

Yes, but the numbers change. So at one time it might be 1 and another it might be 3. So, I used an interval. How would I do that?

well how do u want the user to search
will he have any alternatives like the nr
or is he going to search for a string or character?

The user inputs text, the program checks every string after a certain number; checking for a match. Then the same integer is used on an output file. That string is taken and then printed onto the screen. I already have the basic program but I need a function for using integer variables as the signs.
