C# String LastIndexOf(String, Int32, StringComparison)
Description
String LastIndexOf(String, Int32, StringComparison)
reports
the zero-based index of the last occurrence of a specified string within
the current String object. The search starts at a specified character position
and proceeds backward toward the beginning of the string. A parameter specifies
the type of comparison to perform when searching for the specified string.
Syntax
String.LastIndexOf(String, Int32, StringComparison)
has the following syntax.
public int LastIndexOf(
string value,/*from w ww .ja va 2s. c o m*/
int startIndex,
StringComparison comparisonType
)
Parameters
String.LastIndexOf(String, Int32, StringComparison)
has the following parameters.
value
- The string to seek.startIndex
- The search starting position. The search proceeds from startIndex toward the beginning of this instance.comparisonType
- One of the enumeration values that specifies the rules for the search.
Returns
String.LastIndexOf(String, Int32, StringComparison)
method returns The zero-based starting index position of the value parameter if that string
is found, or -1 if it is not found or if the current instance equals String.Empty.
If value is String.Empty, the return value is the smaller of startIndex and
the last index position in this instance.
Example
In the following example, the LastIndexOf(String, Int32, StringComparison) method is used to find the position of a soft hyphen (U+00AD) followed by an "m", starting with the final "m" in two strings.
using System;/* www. jav a 2 s. c om*/
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
string searchString = "\u00ADm";
string s1 = "ani\u00ADmal" ;
int position;
position = s1.LastIndexOf('m');
if (position >= 0) {
Console.WriteLine(s1.LastIndexOf(searchString, position, StringComparison.CurrentCulture));
Console.WriteLine(s1.LastIndexOf(searchString, position, StringComparison.Ordinal));
}
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
