Dear all,
In C, how do we check whether a string starts with a substring? E.g.,
char *str = ...;
char *substr = ...;
How do we check whether str starts with substr?
Thank you very much!

Forget about doing it in C for the moment.
How would you do it, if you were looking at the two strings written side by side on a piece of paper?
Write down the steps you would take, in English, then translate it into C.
If you need help with the code, post what you have so far.

Hi,
If str = "Good Morning" and substr = "Good", you can compare substr in str until white space, and if both are same purpose is solved!
Regards
If str is your orginal string, substr is the substring you want to check, then
strncmp(str, substr, strlen(substr)) will return 0 if str starts with substr. The functions strncmp and strlen are in the C header file <string.h>
