JavaScript indexof function with square

JavaScript indexof function with square

Definitions and usage
The IndexOf () method returns the location of the first occurrence of a specified string value in a string.

Grammar
Stringobject.indexof (searchvalue,fromindex) parameter description
Searchvalue required. A string value that requires retrieval.
Fromindex an optional integer parameter. Specify where to start retrieving in the string. Its legal value is 0 to stringobject.length-1. If this argument is omitted, it is retrieved from the first character of the string.

Description
This method retrieves the string stringobject from beginning to end to see if it contains substring searchvalue. The location at which to start retrieving is at the fromindex of the string or at the beginning of the string (no fromindex is specified). If a searchvalue is found, it returns the position of the first occurrence of searchvalue. The character position in the Stringobject is starting at 0.
Tips and comments
Note: the IndexOf () method is case sensitive!

Note: If the string value to retrieve does not appear, the method returns-1.
Instance
In this case, we'll do a different search within the "Hello world!" string:

<script type= "Text/javascript" >

var str= "Hello world!"
document.write (Str.indexof ("Hello") + "<br/>")
document.write (Str.indexof ("World") + "<br/>")
document.write (Str.indexof ("World"))

</script> the output of the above code:

0
-1
6

Strobj.indexof (substring[, StartIndex])

Parameters
Strobj

Required option. A String object or text.

SubString

Required option. The substring to find in the string object.

Starindex

Options available. An integer value that indicates the index in which to start the lookup within a String object. If omitted, it is looked up from the beginning of the string.

Description
The IndexOf method returns an integer value that indicates the starting position of the substring of the string object. If no substring is found, returns-1.

If the startindex is a negative number, the startindex is treated as zero. If it is larger than the maximum character position index, it is considered to be the largest possible index.

Performs a lookup from left to right. Otherwise, the method is the same as LastIndexOf.

Example
The following example illustrates the use of the IndexOf method.

function Indexdemo (str2) {
var str1 = "Babebibobubabebibobu"
var s = str1.indexof (STR2);
return (s);
}
