Defined in header <cstring>
constchar* strpbrk(constchar* dest, constchar* breakset );

Scans the null-terminated byte string pointed to by dest for any character from the null-terminated byte string pointed to by breakset, and returns a pointer to that character.

Contents

[edit]Parameters

dest - pointer to the null-terminated byte string to be analyzed
breakset - pointer to the null-terminated byte string that contains the characters to search for

[edit]Return value

Pointer to the first character in dest, that is also in breakset, or null pointer if no such character exists.

[edit]Notes

The name stands for "string pointer break", because it returns a pointer to the first of the separator ("break") characters.

[edit]Example

#include <cstring>#include <iomanip>#include <iostream>   int main(){constchar* str ="hello world, friend of mine!";constchar* sep =" ,!";   unsignedint cnt =0;do{ str = std::strpbrk(str, sep);// find separatorstd::cout<<std::quoted(str)<<'\n';if(str) str +=std::strspn(str, sep);// skip separator++cnt;// increment word count}while(str &&*str);   std::cout<<"There are "<< cnt <<" words\n";}

Output:

" world, friend of mine!" ", friend of mine!" " of mine!" " mine!" "!" There are 5 words
