VB.NET InStrRev Example – Code Sample Syntax
Abstract: – Illustrates using VB.NET InStrRev Code Example.
*** 2. InStrRev Syntax ***
Purpose:
returns integer of the position of the first occurrence of one string
within another, starting from the right side of the string. If the string is
not found, the result is 0
Syntax:
InStrRev(stringToSearch,stringToFind,startIndex,compareMethod)
Parameters |
Description |
stringToSearch |
Required – string that you want to search
|
stringToFind |
Required – string that you are trying to
find into parameter2
|
startIndex |
Optional. Numeric expression setting the
one-based starting position for each search, starting from the
left side of the string. If Start is omitted then –1 is used,
meaning the search begins at the last character position.
Search then proceeds from right to left.
|
comparemethod |
Optional – integer indicating binary or text
|
Result Data Type |
Description |
integer |
returns integer of the position of the first occurrence
of one string within another, starting from the right side of the
string. If the string is not found, the result is 0
|
*** 3. InStrRev – Quick Example ***
|
Dim strString1 As String = “Hello World”
Console.WriteLine(InStrRev(strString1, “l”).ToString()) ‘Returns 10
