string.find

Question

ok so you know how you can use string. find to find a word in a sentence. how would i find the word regardless of its capitalization ex:
string x = "hello"
if (string::npos != x.find("hello"))
cout << "string found" << endl;

in this example how would i make it so that if string x = "HeLLo, it would still print out string found regardless of the capitalization differences

Answer 1

you can turn the string to lowercase before you check if you want by either using a for loop to go threw the string and tolower on each char or use transform with tolower.

Answer 2

Mooaholic thanks dude that worked perfectly! although i used the ascii table values insteam of tolower. thanks man!
