String manipulation in C
 
Hi,

I'm sorry, but I kind of a newbie in C.

In C, how do I check that a string starts with a specified string?

For example:
startsWith("ls", "ls -la");

Thanks,
Pedro

Two sites that are of great help:

http://www.cppreference.com

http://www.cplusplus.com (Just use the search bar above and look through what it finds as relevant.)

Enjoy.
