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 /* strchr example */
 * 1) include 
 * 2) include 

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
