StrChrNIW function (shlwapi.h)

Searches a string for the first occurrence of a specified character. The comparison is not case-sensitive.

Syntax

PCWSTR StrChrNIW(
  [in] PCWSTR pszStart,
       WCHAR  wMatch,
       UINT   cchMax
);

Parameters

[in] pszStart

Type: PCWSTR

A pointer to the string to be searched.

wMatch

Type: WCHAR

The character to be used for comparison.

cchMax

Type: UINT

The maximum number of characters to search.

Return value

Type: PWSTR

Returns the address of the first occurrence of the character in the string if successful, or NULL otherwise.

Remarks

StrChrNIW searches for wMatch from pszStart to pszStart + cchMax, or until a NULL character is encountered.

To help ensure optimal performance, pszStart should be word-aligned.
