Is there a reverse function for strstr

Question

I am trying to find a similar function to strstr that searches a substring starting from the end towards the beginning of the string.

Answer 1

You can use standard algorithm std::find_end for this purpose. For example

    char s[] = "What is the last word last";
    char t[] = "last";

    std::cout << std::find_end( s, s + sizeof( s ) - 1, t, t + sizeof( t ) -1 )
              << std::endl;
