/*  searcharg  --  parse string from string table
 *
 *  Usage:  i = searcharg (ptr,brk,prompt,table,defalt);
 *	int i;
 *	char **ptr,*brk,*prompt,**table,*defalt;
 *
 *  Searcharg parses an argument from the string pointed to by "ptr",
 *  and bumps ptr to point to the next argument in the string.
 *  The argument thus parsed is looked up in the string array
 *  "table", and its index is returned.  If the argument is ambiguous
 *  or not found in the table, getsearch() is used to ask the user
 *  for a string and look it up.
 *  "Brk" is the list of characters which may terminate an argument;
 *  if 0, then " " is used.
 *
 *  The string table might be declared this way:
 *    char *table[] {"one","two","three",0};
 *  The last entry must be a zero.
