C Reference String Operation: strrchr()
The function strrchr() returns a pointer to the last occurrence of x in a string.
Usage:
char *strrchr( const *str, int x);
Note: NULL will be returned if x isn’t found.
strrchr() source code example:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
main()
{
char line[100];
char *ptr_my;
printf("Input word:");
scanf("%s", line);
ptr_my=strrchr(line, 'a');
if (ptr_my == NULL)
printf("Character a is not found.\n");
else
printf("Character found at %d\n", ptr_my - line+1);
}
Output of the example:
Input word:testen
Character a is not found.
Input word:tastan
Character found at position 5
Note: the program was executed two times to get the result of the output example.

@Hasan Thx for pointing that out. The problem was that the title of this page was missing a r in the functions name. Corrected the problem. The string operation strchr() can be found here
