strchr()

Searches for an occurrence of a character in a character string.

  #include <string.h>
  
  char *strchr(const char *s, int c);    

s

The string to search.

c

The character to search for.

This function searches for the first occurrence of the character c in the character array pointed to by s. The function stops when it finds c or when it reaches the null character. The s argument must point to a null-terminated character array.

The function returns a pointer to the successfully located character. If it fails it returns a null pointer ( NULL).

This facility may not be available on some configurations of the EWL.

#include <string.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)

{

char s[] = "tree * tomato eggplant garlic";

char *strptr;

strptr = strchr(s, '*');

if (strptr != NULL)

puts(strptr);

return 0;

}

Output:

* tomato eggplant garlic
