Find sub-string in string

Question

Exists in C method for finding a substring in a string?

If not, how to effectively deal with this problem?

In for cycle? And what is the correct syntax in c?

const char subString[] = { "car", "blue", "red"};
char String[] = "I love red color and i hate blue color";

for .... String lenght... {

      printf("I found subString");

}

const char subString[] = { "car", "blue", "red"}; won't compile, const char * subString[] = { "car", "blue", "red"};would. — alk

If you know, that the word of interest is enclosed with spaces, search for " Adam" and skip that space afterwards. You might have seen my answers regarding tokenization, but everything has been deleted. You may rephrase your question or add a new question.
