wcspbrk

Header: <wchar.h>

Finds the first character in wide string pointed to by dest, that is also in wide string pointed to by str.

# Declarations

wchar_t *wcspbrk( const wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *str );

(since C95)

/*QWchar_t*/ *wcspbrk( /*QWchar_t*/ *dest, const wchar_t *str );

(since C23)

# Parameters

dest: pointer to the null-terminated wide string to be analyzed
src: pointer to the null-terminated wide string that contains the characters to search for

# Return value

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

# Notes

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

# Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    const wchar_t* str = L"Hello world, friend of mine!";
    const wchar_t* sep = L" ,!";
 
    unsigned int cnt = 0;
    do {
       str = wcspbrk(str, sep); // find separator
       if (str) str += wcsspn(str, sep); // skip separator
       ++cnt; // increment word count
    } while (str && *str);
 
    wprintf(L"There are %u words.\n", cnt);
}
