wcschr - Search for Wide Character

Syntax

#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcschr(const wchar_t *string, wchar_t character);

wcschr searches the wide-character string for the occurrence of the wide character. The wide character can be a wchar_t null character (\0); the wchar_t null character at the end of string is included in the search.

wcschr operates on null-terminated wchar_t strings. The string argument to this function should contain a wchar_t null character marking the end of the string.

wcschr returns a pointer to the first occurrence of character in string. If the character is not found, a NULL pointer is returned.

This example finds the first occurrence of the character p in the wide-character string "computer program".

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

#define  SIZE          40

int main(void)
{
   wchar_t buffer1[SIZE] = L"computer program";
   wchar_t *ptr;
   wchar_t ch = L'p';

   ptr = wcschr(buffer1, ch);
   printf("The first occurrence of %lc in '%ls' is '%ls'\n", ch, buffer1, ptr);
   return 0;

   /****************************************************************************
      The output should be:

      The first occurrence of p in 'computer program' is 'puter program'
   ****************************************************************************/
}
