find string function

hi,

in a program, i currently have:

Code:

---

string line, hey(" hey ");
getline(cin, line);
line.find(hey, 0);

---

which will as ask for a line of input and will then search the line for the word hey surrounded by a space on each side.

so far the find function only searches once starting at the begining of the string. how can i modify it to keep finding more than one occurance of " hey " ?

thanks,

In general, you can do it like this using the find method...

Code:

---

    for (string::size_type pos = 0;
        (pos = line.find(hey, pos)) != string::npos;
        ++pos)
    {
        cout << "found occurrence starting at " << pos << endl;
    }//for
