Question

I have a string as const char *str = "Hello, this is an example of my string";

How could I get everything after the first comma. So for this instance: this is an example of my string

Thanks

You can do something similar to what you’ve posted:

char *a, *b;
int i = 0;
while (a[i] && a[i] != ',')
   i++;
if (a[i] == ',') {
   printf("%s", a + i  + 1);
} else {
   printf("Comma separator not found");
}

Alternatively, you can take a look at strtok and strstr.

With strstr you can do:

char *a = "hello, this is an example of my string";
char *b = ",";
char *c;
c = strstr(a, b);
if (c != NULL)
   printf("%s", c + 1);
else
   printf("Comma separator not found");
