strpbrk, _fstrpbrk

Description

Scan strings for characters in specified character sets.

char *strpbrk( const char *string1, const char *string2 );

char __far * __far _fstrpbrk( const char __far *string1,
const char __far *string2 );

Remarks

The strpbrk function finds the first occurrence in string1 of any character from string2. The terminating null character ('\0') is not included in the search.

The _fstrpbrk function is a model-independent (large-model) form of the strpbrk function. The behavior and return value of _fstrpbrk are identical to those of the model-dependent function strpbrk, with the exception that all the arguments and return values are far.

Return Value

These functions return a pointer to the first occurrence of any character from string2 in string1. A NULL return value indicates that the two string arguments have no characters in common.

Example

/* STRPBRK.C */

#include <string.h>

#include <stdio.h>

void main( void )

{

char string[100] = "The 3 men and 2 boys ate 5 pigs\n";

char *result;

/* Return pointer to first 'a' or 'b' in "string" */

printf( "1: %s\n", string );

result = strpbrk( string, "0123456789" );

printf( "2: %s\n", result++ );

result = strpbrk( result, "0123456789" );

printf( "3: %s\n", result++ );

result = strpbrk( result, "0123456789" );

printf( "4: %s\n", result );

}
