    Read the file into a buffer
    Lookup strstr()
    Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

    This one was given by prelude
    Code:
    const char *sub(const char *m, const char *s){
    do {
    	const char *p, *q;
    
    	for (p = s, q = m; *p == *q; p++, q++)
    	  if (*(q+1) == '\0')  return s;
    } while (*s++ != '\0');
    
      return 0;
    }
