Finding a string within a string C# with Example
Using the System.String.Contains you can find out if a particular string exists within a string. The method returns a boolean, true if the string exists else false. string s = "Hello World"; bool stringExists = s.Contains("ello"); //stringExists =true as the string contains the substring Using the System.String.IndexOf method, you can locate the starting position of a substring within an existing string. Note the returned position is zero-based, a value of -1 is returned if the substring is not found. string s = "Hello World"; int location = s.IndexOf("ello"); // location = 1 To find the first location from the end of a string, use the System.String.LastIndexOf method: string s = "Hello World"; int location = s.LastIndexOf("l"); // location = 9
