Subject: strstr and strchr
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 00:30:51 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <550170.9890.qm@web63402.mail.re1.yahoo.com> (raw)
looks strange to me
if i look for a str using strstr it gives me the starting index of the string. so let say if i'm looking for "firstName" in "<Info firstName=\"sam\" lastName=\"Smith\" />" using
strstr(ptr, "firstName"); i would get the pointer pointing to the f in firstName.
whereas if i use strchr and using a slight variation of the string mentioned above(suing ' instead of ") "<Info firstName='sam' lastName='Smith'/>"
strchr(ptr, "'") returns a pointer pointing after the '
so a printf("[%s]\n", strchr(ptr, "'"));
would print [ lastName='Smith'/>]
which doesn't make sense to me.
can someone shed some light. TIA !
