C in a Nutshell

Name

wcschr

Synopsis

Searches for a given character in a string

#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcschr( const wchar_t *s, wchar_t c );

The wcschr() function returns a pointer to the first occurrence of the wide character value c in the wide string addressed by s. If there is no such character in the string, wcschr() returns a null pointer. If c is a null wide character (L'\0'), then the return value points to the terminator character of the wide string addressed by s.

Example

typedef struct {
  wchar_t  street[32];
  wchar_t  city[32];
  wchar_t  stateprovince[32];
  wchar_t  zip[16];
} Address;

wchar_t printaddr[128] = L"720 S. Michigan Ave.\nChicago, IL 60605\n";
int sublength;
Address *newAddr = calloc( 1, sizeof(Address) );

if ( newAddr != NULL )
 {
  sublength =wcschr( printaddr, L'\n' ) − printaddr;
  wcsncpy( newAddr->street, printaddr, (sublength < 31 ? sublength : 31) );
  /* ... */
}
