Clib.strchr() Method

---

This method searches a string for a specified character.

Syntax

Clib.strchr(string, char)

Parameter	Description
string	A string literal, or string variable, containing the character to be searched for
char	The character to search for

Returns

The offset from the beginning of string of the first occurrence of char in string; otherwise, null if char is not found in string.

Usage

This method searches the parameter string for the character char. When possible, you should use the standard JavaScript method substring() (read string.replace() Method).

Example

The following code fragment:

var str = "I can't stand soggy cereal."
var substr = Clib.strchr(str, 's');
TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("str = " + str + "\nsubstr = " + substr);

results in the following output.
