aqString.FindLast Method

Applies to TestComplete 12.60, last modified on September 17, 2018

Description

Use the FindLast method to find a substring in the input string. If the input string holds several occurrences of the substring, the method returns the position of the last matching substring.

Declaration

aqString.FindLast(InputStringSubStringCaseSensitive)

InputString [in]    Required    String    
SubString [in]    Required    String    
CaseSensitive [in]    Optional    Boolean Default value: True   
Result Integer

Applies To

The method is applied to the following object:

Parameters

The method has the following parameters:

InputString

Specifies the string where a substring will be sought for.

SubString

Specifies the sought-for string.

CaseSensitive

Specifies whether the comparison should be case-sensitive or not.

Result Value

If the substring was found, the method returns the zero-based index of the last matching substring. Otherwise, the method returns -1.

Example

The code below searches for the last occurrence of the 'lex' substring within the 'Dura lex, sed lex' string.

JavaScript, JScript

function StringOccurrenceDemo()
{

  var aString, aSubString, Res;
  aString = "Dura lex, sed lex";
  aSubString = "lex";
  Res = aqString.FindLast(aString,aSubString);
  if (Res != -1)
    Log.Message("The last occurrence of the substring '" + aSubString + "' within the string '" + aString + "' is at position " + Res)
  else
           Log.Message("There are no occurrences of the substring '" + aSubString + "' in the '" + aString + "'")

}

// Result:
// The last occurrence of the 'lex' substring within the 'Dura lex, sed lex' string is at position 14

Python

def StringOccurrenceDemo():
  aString = "Dura lex, sed lex"
  aSubString = "lex"
  Res = aqString.FindLast(aString,aSubString)
  if Res != -1:
    Log.Message("The last occurrence of the substring '" + aSubString + "' within the string '" + aString + "' is at position " + str(Res))
  else:
    Log.Message("There are no occurrences of the substring '" + aSubString + "' in the '" + aString + "'")

# Result:
# The last occurrence of the 'lex' substring within the 'Dura lex, sed lex' string is at position 14

VBScript

Sub StringOccurrenceDemo
Dim aString, aSubString, Res

  aString = "Dura lex, sed lex"
  aSubString = "lex"
  Res = aqString.FindLast(aString,aSubString)
  If Res <> -1 then
    Log.Message("The last occurrence of the '" & aSubString & "' substring within the '" & aString & "' string is at position " & Res)
    Else
    Log.Message("There are no occurrences of the '" & aSubString & "' substring in '" & aString + "'")
  End If
End Sub

' Result:
' The last occurrence of the 'lex'substring within the string 'Dura lex, sed lex' is at position 14

DelphiScript

procedure StringOccurrenceDemo;
var aString, aSubString, Res;
begin

  aString := 'Dura lex, sed lex';
  aSubString := 'lex';
  Res := aqString.FindLast(aString,aSubString);
  if Res <> -1 then
           Log.Message('The last occurrence of the ''' + aSubString + ''' substring within the ''' + aString + ''' string is at position ' + IntToStr(Res))
  else
           Log.Message('There are no occurrences of the ''' + aSubString + ''' substring in ''' + aString + ' ''')
end;

// Result:
// The last occurrence of the 'lex' substring within the 'Dura lex, sed lex' string is at position 14

C++Script, C#Script

function StringOccurrenceDemo()
{
  var aString = "Dura lex, sed lex";
  var aSubString = "lex";
  var Res = aqString["FindLast"](aString,aSubString);
  if (Res != -1)
    Log["Message"]("The last occurrence of the '" + aSubString + "' substring within the '" + aString + "' string is at position " + Res)
  else
           Log["Message"]("There are no occurrences of the '" + aSubString + "' substring in '" + aString + "'")
}

// Result:
// The last occurrence of the 'lex' substring within the 'Dura lex, sed lex' string is at position 14
