Write the following function in C. stripos — Find position of first occurre

Write the following function in C.

stripos — Find position of first occurrence of a case-
insensitive string
int stripos ( char* haystack, char* needle, int offset )

Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of
needle in the
haystack string. Note that the needle may be a string of
one or more
characters. If needle is not found, stripos() will return -
1.

The function should not make use of any C library function
calls.

Answer / vadivelt

#include<stdio.h>

int stripos(char* haystack, char* needle, int offset );

void main()
{
char a1[200], a2[20];
int iPostn = 0;
printf("ENTER THE HAYSTACK STRING:\n");
gets(a1);
printf("\nENTER THE STRING - TO BE SEARCHED\n");
gets(a2);
iPostn = stripos(&a1[0], &a2[0], iPostn);

if(iPostn > 0)
printf("\nSTRING STARTS AT THE POSITION: %d\n", iPostn);

else
printf("\nSTRING NOT FOUND: %d\n", iPostn);

getch();
}

int stripos(char* haystack, char* needle, int offset )
{
char ch, *needle1;
int pos = 0, temp;

if(haystack != '\0' && needle != '\0')
{
while(*haystack != '\0')
{
needle1 = needle;
pos++;
temp = 0;
if((*haystack == *needle1) || (*haystack == *needle1 - 32)
|| (*haystack == *needle1 + 32))
{
offset = pos;
needle1++;
haystack++;
while(*needle1 != '\0')
{
if((*haystack == *needle1) || (*haystack ==
*needle1 - 32) || (*haystack == *needle1 + 32))
{
haystack++;
needle1++;
pos++;
}
else
{
temp = 1;
offset = -1;
break;
}
}
}
if(offset > 0)
{
return offset;
}

if(temp != 1)
haystack++;
}
}
return offset;

int is_match(char a, char b)

return 1;

int stripos( char* haystack, char* needle, int offset )
{
int i = 0, j = 0, pos = -1;

if(*haystack == '\0' || *needle == '\0')
