Searching for strings

[PlasmaZero]

I'm writing a prog in which a file is loaded with several hundred names into a listbox. I want to make a search function, i.e. user types a name or a partial name and the function loops through the listbox and sets the cursor on a match(if any). I have no idea how to implement this (especially for a partial match). Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
Thanks

This little search function might doit:

#include <string.h>
#define _MAXSTRING_    100

bool Search( FILE *f, char *string )
{
	char *buff;
	buff   = new char[_MAXSTRING_];
	bool found = false;

	while( fgets( buff, _MAXSTRING_, f ) != NULL )
	{
		if( strstr( buff, string ))
		{
			found = true;
			break;
		}
	}

	delete buff;
	return found;
}
