     It might be done with a for loop.  eg:


     for ( ; *r ; ++r) if(*r=='/') n=r;
n++;


The for loop is the best construct for a loop with an incremental
cursor. While is rather meant for things like

     while ( (c=fgets(s, sizeof(s), stdin) )


     At the end of the day, there are many ways to write even simple 
things :-)
