Hi,

Let's say I have the following content:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

How do I search for dummy or dummy text in that string using C? Is there any easy way to do it or only with strong string manipulation? All I need is to search for it and return a boolean with the result.
