Give me that second substring! A string::find() production.

Just a quickie today...

Is there another ( better ) way to get the second value from this string::find example:

  std::string str( "More strings of the string variety" );
  size_t loc;
 
  loc = str.find( "string" );
  loc = str.find( "string", loc + 1, 6 );
 
  std::cout << "Location of second string: " << loc << '\n';
 

I'm working in the wonderful world of 'strings', and I ran into 'find'...

Now, if the "strings" were reversed:

 
  std::string str( "My string is better than other strings." );
  size_t loc;
 
  loc = str.find( "strings", 0, 7 );
 
  std::cout << "Location of second string: " << loc << '\n';
 

This would work wonderfully.

I happened to run into this situation, and I thought, "Hey!" Maybe someone
at theScripts has a better way of doing this.

Thanks for your time.

Lates!

You can use string::rfind(). It searches the string in reverse order.

D'oh!

Now why didn't I know that? :P

Thank you!! I should have thought about that... *Sigh*

Oh, BTW.... Check the other post we looked into:
