wcsstr

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | string‎ | wide
Defined in header <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcsstr( const wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src );
(1) (since C95)
/*QWchar_t*/ *wcsstr( /*QWchar_t*/ *dest, const wchar_t *src );
(2) (since C23)
1) Finds the first occurrence of the wide string src in the wide string pointed to by dest. The terminating null characters are not compared.
2) Type-generic function equivalent to (1). Let T be an unqualified wide character object type.
  • If dest is of type const T*, the return type is const wchar_t*.
  • Otherwise, if dest is of type T*, the return type is wchar_t*.
  • Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
If a macro definition of each of these generic functions is suppressed to access an actual function (e.g. if (wcsstr) or a function pointer is used), the actual function declaration (1) becomes visible.

[edit] Parameters

dest - pointer to the null-terminated wide string to examine
src - pointer to the null-terminated wide string to search for

[edit] Return value

Pointer to the first character of the found substring in dest, or a null pointer if no such substring is found. If src points to an empty string, dest is returned.

[edit] Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <wchar.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "ru_RU.UTF-8");
 
    wchar_t str[5][64] = {
        L"Строка, где есть подстрока 'но'.",
        L"Строка, где такой подстроки нет.",
        L"Он здесь.",
        L"Здесь он.",
        L"Его нет."
    };
 
    for (size_t i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
        if (wcsstr(str[i], L"но")) {
            wprintf(L"%ls\n", str[i]);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Строка, где есть подстрока 'но'.
