Format
#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wcsrchr(const wchar_t *string, wchar_t character);Language Level: ANSI
Threadsafe: Yes
Wide Character Function: See Wide Characters for more information.
Description
The wcsrchr() function locates the last occurrence of character in the string pointed to by string. The ending wchar_t null character is considered to be part of the string.
Return Value
The wcsrchr() function returns a pointer to the character, or a NULL pointer if character does not occur in the string.
Example that uses wcsrchr()
This example compares the use of wcschr() and wcsrchr(). It searches the string for the first and last occurrence of p in the wide character string.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#define SIZE 40
int main(void)
{
wchar_t buf[SIZE] = L"computer program";
wchar_t * ptr;
int ch = 'p';
/* This illustrates wcschr */
ptr = wcschr( buf, ch );
printf( "The first occurrence of %c in '%ls' is '%ls'\n", ch, buf, ptr );
/* This illustrates wcsrchr */
ptr = wcsrchr( buf, ch );
printf( "The last occurrence of %c in '%ls' is '%ls'\n", ch, buf, ptr );
}
/**************** Output should be similar to: ******************
The first occurrence of p in 'computer program' is 'puter program'
The last occurrence of p in 'computer program' is 'program'
