strsrch

Name

strsrch() - search for substrings in a string

Synopsis

int strsrch( string str, string substr | int char,
int flag );

Description

strsrch() searches for the first occurance of the string `substr' in the string `str'. The last occurance of `substr' can be found by passing '-1' as the `flag' argument (which is optional). If the second argument is an integer, that character is found (like C's strchr()/strrchr().) The empty string or null value cannot be searched for.

The integer offset of the first (last) match is returned. -1 is returned if there was no match, or an error occurred (bad args, etc).
