std::strpbrk - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| Defined in header | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | const char* strpbrk( const char* dest, const char* breakset ); | | | | char* strpbrk( char* dest, const char* breakset ); | | |

Scans the null-terminated byte string pointed to by dest for any character from the null-terminated byte string pointed to by breakset, and returns a pointer to that character.

[edit] Parameters

[edit] Return value

Pointer to the first character in dest, that is also in breakset, or null pointer if no such character exists.

[edit] Notes

The name stands for "string pointer break", because it returns a pointer to the first of the separator ("break") characters.

[edit] Example

#include #include #include   int main() { const char* str = "hello world, friend of mine!"; const char* sep = " ,!";   unsigned int cnt = 0; do { str = std::strpbrk(str, sep); // find separator std::cout << std::quoted(str) << '\n'; if (str) str += std::strspn(str, sep); // skip separator ++cnt; // increment word count } while (str && *str);   std::cout << "There are " << cnt << " words\n"; }

Output:

" world, friend of mine!" ", friend of mine!" " of mine!" " mine!" "!" There are 5 words
