Clib.strrchr() Method

This method searches a string for the last occurrence of a character in a given string.

Syntax

Clib.strrchr(string, char)

Returns

This function returns the substring of string beginning at the rightmost occurence of char and ending with the rightmost character in string. If char is not found in string, the function returns null.

Usage

This method searches the parameter string for the character char. The search is in the reverse direction, from the right, for char in string.

When possible, you should use the standard JavaScript method substring() (see String replace() Method).

Example

The following code fragment:

var str = "I don't like soggy cereal."
var substr = Clib.strrchr(str, 'o');
TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("str = " + str + "\nsubstr = " + substr);

results in the following output:

str = I don't like soggy cereal.
substr = oggy cereal.
