strpbrk, _fstrpbrk

Scans a string for the first occurrence of any character from a given set.

Defined in header <string.h>

Syntax

#include <string.h>
Near version: char *strpbrk(const char  *sl, const char *s2);
Far version: char far * far _fstrpbrk(const char far *sl,const char far *s2)

Portability

Remarks

strpbrk scans a string, si, for the first occurrence of any character appearing in s2.

Return value

strpbrk returns a pointer to the first occurrence of any of the characters in s2. If none of the s2 characters occurs in si, it returns null.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
   char *stringl = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
char *string2 = "onm";
char *ptr;
ptr = strpbrk (stringl, string2);
if (ptr)
   printf ("strpbrk found first character: %c\h", *ptr);
else
   printf ("strpbrk didn't find character in set\n");
return 0;
