String.LastIndexOfAny Method (array<Char[], Int32, Int32)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Updated: October 2010

Reports the zero-based index position of the last occurrence in this instance of one or more characters specified in a Unicode array. The search starts at a specified character position and examines a specified number of character positions.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Function LastIndexOfAny ( _
    anyOf As Char(), _
    startIndex As Integer, _
    count As Integer _
) As Integer
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public int LastIndexOfAny(
    char[] anyOf,
    int startIndex,
    int count
)

Parameters

  • anyOf
    Type: array<System.Char[]
    A Unicode character array containing one or more characters to seek.
  • startIndex
    Type: System.Int32
    The search starting position.
  • count
    Type: System.Int32
    The number of character positions to examine.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The index position of the last occurrence in this instance where any character in anyOf was found; otherwise, -1 if no character in anyOf was found or if the current instance equals String.Empty.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

anyOf is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The current instance does not equal String.Empty, and count or startIndex is negative.

-or-

The current instance does not equal String.Empty and startIndex minus count specifies a position that is not within this instance.

Remarks

Index numbering starts from zero.

This method begins searching at the startIndex character position of this instance and proceeds backward toward the beginning until either a character in anyOf is found or count character positions have been examined. The search is case-sensitive.

This method performs an ordinal (culture-insensitive) search, where a character is considered equivalent to another character only if their Unicode scalar values are the same. To perform a culture-sensitive search, use the CompareInfo.LastIndexOf method, where a Unicode scalar value representing a precomposed character, such as the ligature 'Æ' (U+00C6), might be considered equivalent to any occurrence of the character's components in the correct sequence, such as "AE" (U+0041, U+0045), depending on the culture.

Examples

The following code example finds the index of the last occurrence of any character in the string "aid" within a substring of another string.
