Right now the interface only allows the haystack not the needle to contain \0, which seems like a needless arbitrary limitation for something that's essentially a fancy strstr() & memmem(). I.e. you have feature-parity with strstr() (and extra features like "begins with?"), but not with memmem().Thread Previous | Thread Next
