$loc=index($string,$substr); # returns in $loc the location(first character in $string is location 0) of first occurrence of $substr in $string.
-
If $substr is not located, return -1
|
| 2 |
$loc=index($string,$substr,$firstloc); # will return $loc which is at least as large as $firstloc
-
Use to find multiple occurrences, setting $firstloc as 1+ previously found location

rindex($string,$substr,$lastloc) is identical to index except scanning starts at right (end) of string and not at start. All locations still count from left but if you give a third argument $lastloc, the returned $loc will be at most $lastloc in value
