const char * strchr ( const char * str, int character );
      char * strchr (       char * str, int character );

Locate first occurrence of character in string

Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of  character  in the C string  str .

The terminating null-character is considered part of the C string. Therefore, it can also be located to retrieve a pointer to the end of a string.

Parameters

str

C string.

character

Character to be located. It is passed as its  int promotion, but it is internally converted back to  char.

Return Value

A pointer to the first occurrence of  character  in  str .
If the  value  is not found, the function returns a null pointer.

Portability

In C, this function is declared as:

char * strchr ( const char *, int );  
instead of the two overloaded versions provided in C++.

Example

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

/* strchr example */ #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main () { char str[] = "This is a sample string"; char * pch; printf ("Looking for the 's' character in \"%s\"...\n",str); pch=strchr(str,'s'); while (pch!=NULL) { printf ("found at %d\n",pch-str+1); pch=strchr(pch+1,'s'); } return 0; }

Output:

Looking for the 's' character in "This is a sample string"... found at 4 found at 7 found at 11 found at 18
