Determines if one string is a substring of another.
Note: Use the Special String Operators for string concatenation, string inclusion, and simple comparison. |
Type and Usage
Parameters
Takes two parameters:
The first parameter is a string.
The second parameter is the possible substring.
Output
If the second string is a substring of the first, returns an index value that indicates where in the first string the substring begins. The first character has an index value of 0.
If the second string is not a substring of the first, returns a value of -1.
Example
Evaluates whether xy
is a substring of xyz
and returns the index value 0:
<$if strIndexOf("xyz","xy") >=0$> check for substring <$endif$>
Evaluates whether yz
is a substring of xyz
and returns the index value 1:
<$if strIndexOf("xyz","yz") >=0$> check for substring <$endif$>
Evaluates whether ab
is a substring of xyz
and returns the index value –1 to indicate that this is not a substring:
<$if strIndexOf("xyz","ab") >=0$> check for substring <$endif$>
