STRPBRK - find first character from set in string.

(ANSI Standard)

Usage:

#include <string.h>
ptr = strpbrk(string,set);

Where:

const char *string;

is the string you want to examine.

const char *set;

gives a set of characters to look for.

char *ptr;

points to the first character in "string" that also appears in "set". If no characters from "set" can be found in "string", "strpbrk" returns a null pointer.

Description:

"strpbrk" looks through "string" character by character until it finds one of the characters in "set". For example, if "set" is a string consisting of a blank and a tab, "strpbrk" would return a pointer to the first blank or tab appearing in "string".
