Use the find method in the string class.




#include <string>

bool isAValid (string &, string &);
bool isAValid (string & letter, string & stringToSearch){

if( stringToSearch.find(letter) == string::npos )
return false;
else
return true;

} // End isAValid()



Be sure to cast to a string when passing a char. A quick example of use:




int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

if( isAValid( string("a"), string("this is not true") ) )
cout << "true" << endl;
else
cout << "false" << endl;

return 0;

} // End main()
