value_type _Ch,
size_type _Off = 0
) const;
size_type find_first_not_of(
const value_type* _Ptr,
size_type _Off = 0

Parameters
_Ch
The character value for which the member function is to search._Off
Index of the position at which the search is to begin._Ptr
The C-string for which the member function is to search._Count
The number of characters, counting forward from the first character, in the C-string for which the member function is to search._Str
The string for which the member function is to search.
Return Value
The index of the first character of the substring searched for when successful; otherwise npos.
