basic, basic regex help, do i need alloc and pointer?

[Keith Kaple]

I'm trying to use regex.h to do a basic pattern match in c (like I've
done in PERL for years).

Do I really have to mess with memory allocation and pointers??

Anyone have a quick example of taking two strings and saying "is the
first in the second" ???

I don't care where, when or how many times, just, is the *^%$% string in
there.

Thanks

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int is_the_first_in_the_second(const char *first, const char *second)
{
return strstr(second, first) != 0;
}

int main(void)
{
const char *clcFAQ = "http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html";
const char *FAQSalreadyread = "";

if(is_the_first_in_the_second(clcFAQ, FAQSalreadyread))
printf("ok\n");
else
printf("oops\n");
return 0;
}
