strpbrk() String Function strpbrk() Find first occurrence of a character from another string #include <string.h> char *strpbrk(string1, string2); char *string1, *string2; strpbrk returns a pointer to the first character in string1 that matches any character in string2. It returns NULL if no charac- ter in string1 matches a character in string2. The set of characters that string2 points to is sometimes called the ``break string''. For example, char *string = "To be, or not to be: that is the question."; char *brkset = ",;"; strpbrk(string, brkset); returns the value of the pointer string plus five. This points to the comma, which is the first character in the area pointed to by string that matches any character in the string pointed to by brkset. ***** See Also ***** string functions, string.h ***** Notes ***** strpbrk resembles the function strtok in functionality, but un- like strtok, it preserves the contents of the strings being com- pared. It also resembles the function strchr, but lets you search for any one of a group of characters, rather than for one character alone. COHERENT Lexicon Page 1
