What flavor of C?
Standard ANSI C doesn't have strings. It has character arrays. You want to search, you write a function to do it.
C, C++, C# ...?
Microsoft or Unix?

nikkiH: C = regular C, not C++ and not C#

alaios: just re-write your own string function in C, should be really close to that of C++, Im sure you could find the headers and function calls that the string function can make through a google search...

Search for strstr(), its an ANSI C function that is used to find a substring within a string.
