Re: find offset of character in string

 Thanks for the help,

 P.S. How could I delete the character at the offset found with StrStr and
 all the characters to the end of the string?
If you search for a char, then it is better to use StrChr. If you search for
a str, then use StrStr.
If pend points to the found offset, then *(pend+1) will "delete" the rest of
the string.
If you really want to clear all chars after pend, then put 0x0 to each char
since pend+1 until the end of the original str.
Except that this won't work for multi-byte characters. To handle that 
correctly, assuming a FindCharOffset routine that returns the offset, 
then you'd do something like:

        offset = FindCharOffset(buffer, someChar);
        if (offset != -1)
        {
                offset += TxtGetNextChar(buffer, offset, NULL);
                buffer[offset] = '\0';
        }
