find substring c++ code example

Example 1: c++ check substring

if (s1.find(s2) != std::string::npos) {
    std::cout << "found!" << '\n';
}

Example 2: find all occurrences of a substring in a string c++

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string s("hello hello");
    int count = 0;
    size_t nPos = s.find("hello", 0); // first occurrence
    while(nPos != string::npos)
    {
        count++;
        nPos = s.find("hello", nPos + 1);
    }

    cout << count;
};

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;
