title	instr	Get Index of a String In a String
index		Get index of a string in a string

synopsis

	 int
	 instr(s,p)
	 char s[];	/* Subject string	*/
	 char p[];	/* Pattern string	*/

description

	instr(s,p) returns the index of the first occurence of *p in *s, or
	-1 if p is not a substring of s.  (The index is the offset to the
	beginning of the occurence; for example, instr("abcd","bc")==1.)

	If strlen(p) == 0, instr() returns 0.

	See also after().
