Method Name:
rfind
Method Signature:
rfind(sub[, start[, end]])
Method Overview:
- rfind() finds the highest index at which a substring is found inside a string
- This is similar to the find() method of str class. However, while the find() returns the lowest index at which a substring is found, the rfind() method returns the the highest index of the string object at which a substring is found.
- A start index and end index could be specified for the search operation.
Example:
|
authorName = "Antoine de Saint-Exupéry" substring = "Saint" pos = authorName.rfind(substring)
print("The substring '{}' was found at position:{}".format(substring, pos))
quote = "Which way you ought to go depends on where you want to get to..." substring = "you" pos = quote.rfind(substring)
print("The substring '{}' was found at position:{}".format(substring, pos))
# specify start and stop for the substring search pos = quote.rfind(substring, 0, 15) print("The substring '{}' was found at position:{}".format(substring, pos))
|
Output:
|
The substring 'Saint' was found at position:11 The substring 'you' was found at position:43 The substring 'you' was found at position:10 |
