Not sure quite what some of that code is there for! Just take out the excess:

C#

int main( )
{
    char status[] = {'s','i','m','p','l','e' } ;
    char i, x ;
    printf ( "Enter character to search: " ) ;
    scanf ( "%c", &x ) ;
    for(i=0;i<6;i++)
    {
        if ( status[i] == x ) break;
    }
    if (i < 6)
        printf ( "The character is at position %d in the array.", i);
    else
        printf ( "character is not present in the array." ) ;
}
