No, it searches the string and returns a pointer to the first
segment that matches charset.  Note that since \n is represented
by a separator this means it only returns the first line, so your
solution (looping through the segments) is actually more generically
correct if you don't know whether the value is multi-line or single
line (or multi-font).  However it assumes that you know what the
charset is (or don't care).

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
