// Using strcspn()/wcscspn()/_mbscspn()

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

int main(void)

{

char *string1 = "The value is 3.14159";

char *string2 = "1234567890";

printf(" Using strcspn()\n");

printf(" ---------------\n");

printf("string1 = %s\n", string1);

printf("string2 = %s\n", string2);

printf("\nThe length of the initial segment of string1\n");

printf("not containing characters from string2 = %u", strcspn(string1, string2));

printf("\n");

return 0;

}

Output example:

Using strcspn()

---------------

string1 = The value is 3.14159

string2 = 1234567890

The length of the initial segment of string1

not containing characters from string2 = 13
