Contains function for LPCTSTR

Question

I have a code like:

int contains(LPCTSTR name)
{
   char * data = "test.txt";
}

How can i check whether name contains 'data'? Thanks!

Answer 1

Since you are using Windows and TCHAR, a more idiomatic solution would be:

BOOL contains(LPCTSTR lpName) {
    return _tcsstr(name, _T("data"));
}

Unless your data is deliberately a char *, in which case the answer changes.
