We introduce two new methods:
|
| 2 |
myString.IndexOf(lookfor);
|
| 3 |
where myString and lookfor are any strings
|
| 4 |
IndexOf returns the position of a character in myString that begins a substring exactly matching lookfor:
|
| 5 |
var s = "http://www.npac.syr.edu";
|
| 6 |
s.IndexOf("www"); // returns 7
|
| 7 |
myString.IndexOf(lookfor, searchfrom);
|
| 8 |
where searchfrom specifies the starting position of the search (see the previous foil for an example)
|
| 9 |
myString.lastIndexOf(lookfor, lastsearchfrom);
|
| 10 |
is similar to IndexOf but starts from the end of the string
|
| 11 |
Default value of lastsearchfrom is myString.length - 1
|
| 12 |
IndexOf and lastIndexOf return -1 if requested string is not found
