String.indexOf function in C *

Question

Is there a C library function that will return the index of a character in a string?

So far, all I've found are functions like strstr that will return the found char *, not it's location in the original string.

Answer

I think that

size_t strcspn ( const char * str1, const char * str2 );

is what you want. Here is an example pulled from here:

/* strcspn example */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main ()
{
  char str[] = "fcba73";
  char keys[] = "1234567890";
  int i;
  i = strcspn (str,keys);
  printf ("The first number in str is at position %d.\n",i+1);
  return 0;
}
