searchindex

searchindex(string, substring, [start])

Similar to search, but return only the start index at which the substring is found, or 0 if it is not.

Examples

julia> searchindex("Julia is a high-level programming language", "Julia")
1

julia> searchindex("Julia is a high-level programming language", "programming")
19

julia> searchindex("Julia is a high-level programming language", "Python")
0

julia> searchindex("Julia is a high-level programming language", "programming", 20)
23

This function searchindex is used to find the start index at which a substring is found within a given string. If the substring is not found, it returns 0.

Here are some common examples of how to use searchindex:

Find the index of a substring in a string:
```
julia> searchindex("Julia is a high-level programming language", "Julia")
1
```
In this example, the substring "Julia" is found at index 1 in the given string.
Find the index of a different substring:
```
julia> searchindex("Julia is a high-level programming language", "programming")
19
```
Here, the substring "programming" is found at index 19 in the string.
Handle cases where the substring is not found:
```
julia> searchindex("Julia is a high-level programming language", "Python")
0
```
The function returns 0 if the substring is not found in the given string.
Specify a start index for searching:
```
julia> searchindex("Julia is a high-level programming language", "programming", 20)
23
```
By specifying a start index of 20, the function only searches for the substring after that position. In this case, the substring "programming" is found at index 23.

Note: The searchindex function is case-sensitive.
