Late night part 2

I hope this isn't a simple answer again, but my work situation doesn't allow me to code the hours i like and as often as I like. The following code emualtes C's STRSTR. however, i noticed it returns only from token[1] and up. Token being the second string argument.

I could do some simple exception handling. But i'd prefer to know why it doesn't return the first address.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#define FIND "s"

char *MyStrstr(char *word, char *str);
int main(void){

    char *word="superca9038jfcmcdldfjdf";
    char *KeyFound = MyStrstr(word,FIND);
    if (KeyFound){
    puts("found it");
    printf("Your looking for \"%s\" ",KeyFound);
 }   
   
    else
    puts("Can't find it");
     
    getchar();
    return 0;
}


char *MyStrstr(char *word, char *tok){
   
    while(*word++){
    if (*word == *tok)
                return word;
    }         
    return NULL;
 }

---

Code:

---

while(*word++){

I'd suggest making the loop a dowhile, as you start off the loop incrementing in to the array.

lol, take a break man, late night coding gets to yah pretty easily.
-edit-
and wait, this is late night? What time zone are you in?

Thanks

EST. Its just i work all day and when i get home its too late. The only really good time i get is in the early morning before work. then i'm usaully in the zone. I do the late night coding cause sometimes if it's not too much of a bug I can learn it, sleep on it, and have my brain work better to understand it.
Then there are annoying simple bugs like these ..... :rolleyes:

lol, happens to all of us. Just something with as the night goes on, your brain slowly shuts down.

-edit-
and I forgot my days are still shifted forward 6 hours because of summer :rolleyes:

yours is like a strchr more than an strstr. you need to keep checking past the first letter.

True. And a really bad one at that. The second parameter in the protoype should be of type int not char - if it was to be a prototype for strchr. Again i was coding it late night. I'll go add that strncmp line. thanks for pointing it out. :rolleyes: @ me
