String.indexOf function in C

by

strstr returns a pointer to the found character, so you could use pointer arithmetic: (Note: this code not tested for its ability to compile, it’s one step away from pseudocode.)

char * source = "test string";         /* assume source address is */
                                       /* 0x10 for example */
char * found = strstr( source, "in" ); /* should return 0x18 */
if (found != NULL)                     /* strstr returns NULL if item not found */
{
  int index = found - source;          /* index is 8 */
                                       /* source[8] gets you "i" */
}
