strstr always returns null

I am trying to get a substring from a CString using C++. For that I am using strstr function. But it is not working at al

CString str = m_sectionDataList->GetNext(pos);          
char* chToMatch = (char*)(LPCTSTR)str;          
char *match = "=";      
//char * sMatched = strstr(ch, match);
if (strstr(match, chToMatch) != NULL) {
    MessageBox(NULL, str, L"Done", 1);
}

Finally I've found it. Need to use a macro of C++ and you will found it converted.

CT2A ascii(str, CP_UTF8);

now you can just access it using ascii.m_psz and its buffer also.

You are passing arguments in the incorrect order. strstr expects first argument to be scanned string, and second should be a match. Right now you are searching your target string in the one byte = template, which will most certainly fail.
