c++ find char in string code example

Example 1: how to check string contains char in c++

std::string s = "Hello";
if (s.find('e') != std::string::npos)
    cout << "Found";
else
    cout << "Not Found";

Example 2: find character in string c++

auto char_to_find = 'a'
if (str.find(char_to_find) != std::string::npos) {
    // character found
}

Example 3: c++ string contains

if (string1.find(string2) != std::string::npos) {
    std::cout << "found!" << '\n';
}

Example 4: std string find character c++

// string::find
#include <iostream>       // std::cout
#include <string>         // std::string

int main ()
{
  std::string str ("There are two needles in this haystack with needles.");
  std::string str2 ("needle");

  // different member versions of find in the same order as above:
  std::size_t found = str.find(str2);
  if (found!=std::string::npos)
    std::cout << "first 'needle' found at: " << found << '\n';

  found=str.find("needles are small",found+1,6);
  if (found!=std::string::npos)
    std::cout << "second 'needle' found at: " << found << '\n';

  found=str.find("haystack");
  if (found!=std::string::npos)
    std::cout << "'haystack' also found at: " << found << '\n';

  found=str.find('.');
  if (found!=std::string::npos)
    std::cout << "Period found at: " << found << '\n';

  // let's replace the first needle:
  str.replace(str.find(str2),str2.length(),"preposition");
  std::cout << str << '\n';

  return 0;
}

Example 5: find substring in string c++

std::string parentstring = "Hello Agnosticdev, I love Tutorials";
std::string substring = "Agnosticdev";
auto index = parentstring.find(substring);

Example 6: find in string c++

size_t find (const string& str, size_t pos = 0) const;
