Clib.strchr() Method

This method searches a string for a specified character.

Syntax

Clib.strchr(string, char)

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. The return value is zero-based. The first character is zero, the second is 1, and so on.

Usage

This method searches the parameter string for the character char. When possible, you should use the standard JavaScript method substring(). For more information see 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.

I can't stand soggy cereal.
stand soggy cereal.
