It looks like I have the search working like this, but I have to
double-space the dictionary file to have a leading \n.
NSString *searchStr = @"\njoy\n";
NSData *strData = [searchStr
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
const char *strBytes = [strData bytes];
const char *fileBytes = [stringFileContents bytes];
char *ptr = strstr(fileBytes, strBytes);
Is that what you were thinking?
Thanks!
