tuple_strrchr — Backward search for characters within a string tuple.
tuple_strrchr searches within the strings of the input tuple String for the characters of the input tuple ToFind. Both input tuples may only consist of strings. Otherwise tuple_strrchr returns an error. In any case backward search is used, i.e., every string is examined from its last to its first character. If the elements of ToFind contain more than one character, only the first character of each element is considered for searching. If String contains only one string, all the characters defined in ToFind are searched in this string. Thus, the output tuple consists of as many elements as ToFind. Whenever a searched character has been found, the position of its first occurrence gets stored in the output tuple Position . If a character can not be found, -1 will be returned instead of its position (remark: the position starts at 0 for the first character of a string). If both input tuples show the same number of elements, the search is done elementwise. I.e., the first character of the first element of ToFind is searched within the first string of String, the first character of the second element of ToFind is searched within the second string of String and so on. The results of the elementwise searches are returned with Position that contains as many elements as String and ToFind. If ToFind only contains one string, its first character is searched within all strings of String. Thus, in this case Position consists of as many elements as String. If both input tuples contain more than one element and the number of elements differs for the input tuples, tuple_strrchr returns an error.
For general information about string operations see Tuple / String Operations.
If either or both of the input tuples are empty, the operator returns an empty tuple.
HDevelop provides an in-line operation for tuple_strrchr, which can be used in an expression in the following syntax:
Position := strrchr(String, ToFind)
Input tuple with string(s) to examine.
Input tuple with character(s) to search.
Position of searched character(s) within the string(s).
