String.LastIndexOf Method (String, Int32)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public int LastIndexOf ( String value, int startIndex )
public function LastIndexOf ( value : String, startIndex : int ) : int
Parameters
- value
The String to seek.
- startIndex
The search starting position.
Return Value
The index position of value if that string is found, or -1 if it is not. If value is Empty, the return value is startIndex.Index numbering starts from zero.
This method performs a word (case-sensitive and culture-sensitive) search using the current culture. The search begins at the startIndex character position of this instance and proceeds backwards towards the beginning until either value is found or the first character position has been examined.
The following code example finds the index of all occurrences of a string in target string, working from the end of the target string to the start of the target string.
