detect a word in string using getline()

[miketm]

Hi everyone,

Please give me some good idea how to detect a partcular word (say "you&quot in a string when you read in using getline. I only know how to detect a word from a constant string by using strstr(), and find() for a single character matching. But strstr() does not allow you to detect a word from a line you read from a file. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you mean "find" some substring in a string, you can use string::find, there is an overloaded version of this feature for string searches.

From STL :

size_type find(const string& s, size_type pos = 0) const

doc:
Searches for s as a substring of *this, beginning at character pos of *this.

Thank you Globos, yes I meant "find" some substring in a string . This afternoon at work I experimented out many other methods and eventually I also managed to use find() correctly, that is using the pos outcome of find(). I misused before, lol ,that made me crazy testing & testing.

Thanks again.
