If you're using std::strings, then you can call find on input to locate the substring you're looking for (the rest is straightforward). Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Or use Regular Expressions to find the string. -- See me: www.magerquark.de

I think you will find it extremely useful to read some book about C++. For instance, Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++ is very good for starters, plus you can download it for free! There you can learn how to use std::strings and a lot more. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

If you are using the regular C-runtime libary with char* as your string you can use strstr(). This will search for a string inside of a string.
