rfind(string,substring) returns integer Description Returns the position of the start of the last occurrence of substring in string. If the substring is not found most of these routines return an invalid index value – -1 where indexes are 0-based, 0 where they are 1-based – or some value to be interpreted as Boolean FALSE.

Generally, it may be put only between digit characters. It cannot be put at the beginning ( _121 ) or the end of the value ( 121_ or 121.05_ ), next to the decimal in floating point values ( 10_.0 ), next to the exponent character ( 1.1e_1 ), or next to the type specifier ( 10_f ).
A regular expression (shortened as regex or regexp), [1] sometimes referred to as rational expression, [2] [3] is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation.
In the array containing the E(x, y) values, we then choose the minimal value in the last row, let it be E(x 2, y 2), and follow the path of computation backwards, back to the row number 0. If the field we arrived at was E(0, y 1), then T[y 1 + 1] ... T[y 2] is a substring of T with the minimal edit distance to the pattern P.
This representation of an n-character string takes n + 1 space (1 for the terminator), and is thus an implicit data structure. In terminated strings, the terminating code is not an allowable character in any string. Strings with length field do not have this limitation and can also store arbitrary binary data.
If is a substring of , it is also a subsequence, which is a more general concept. The occurrences of a given pattern in a given string can be found with a string searching algorithm. Finding the longest string which is equal to a substring of two or more strings is known as the longest common substring problem.
Two types of literal expression are usually offered: one with interpolation enabled, the other without. Non-interpolated strings may also escape sequences, in which case they are termed a raw string, though in other cases this is separate, yielding three classes of raw string, non-interpolated (but escaped) string, interpolated (and escaped) string.
A string homomorphism (often referred to simply as a homomorphism in formal language theory) is a string substitution such that each character is replaced by a single string. That is, f ( a ) = s {\displaystyle f(a)=s} , where s {\displaystyle s} is a string, for each character a {\displaystyle a} .
