FindStrInStr only finds "prefix" strings. That is to say, it only searches the
beginning of "words". I.e.,
True: FindStrInStr("the rain in spain", "spa", &pos)
False: FindStrInStr("the rain in spain", "ain", &pos)
Additionally, the search string must be "normalized".

Subject: strange FindStrInStr behaviour..
I'm using FindStrInStr to find a string in another string... It ALWAYS
returns false, although I definitively know the searched for string IS in
the searched string...
My code:
match = MatchPerson (p, strSearchText);
Boolean MatchPerson (PersonDetailsType *p, Char *strToFind)
{
if (p->LastName &&
FindStrInStr(p->LastName,strToFind)
return true;
else
return false;
}
Anyone has any idea what could be the cause of this problem?
Regards,
Barry
