Finding a Certain character

[lisal]

What command can I use to do the following...

I create a string City; and I want to search for the character "," and if there is a "," in it it will place that string in the variable city.

i.e. Newport News, VA It will take the Newport News, and put it under city etc...Thanx

if it's a char array you could do something like:

char* p;
int i = 0;
for(p=City; *p!=0; p++, i++)
[tab]if(*p == ',') break;

if(*p == ',') // if comma was found
{
[tab]city = new char[i + 1];
[tab]strncpy(city, City, i);
[tab]city[ i ] = 0;
}

I believe you can use strtok (your_string,","

char* tok;

tok = strtok(my_string,","

if(tok)// you have a city (comma existed)
