InStrRev Function (Visual Basic) 

  • Artigo

Returns the position of the first occurrence of one string within another, starting from the right side of the string.

Public Function InStrRev(
   ByVal StringCheck As String,
   ByVal StringMatch As String,
   Optional ByVal Start As Integer = -1,
   Optional ByVal Compare As CompareMethod = CompareMethod.Binary
) As Integer

Parameters

  • StringCheck
    Required. String expression being searched.
  • StringMatch
    Required. String expression being searched for.
  • Start
    Optional. Numeric expression setting the one-based starting position for each search, starting from the left side of the string. If Start is omitted then –1 is used, meaning the search begins at the last character position. Search then proceeds from right to left.
  • Compare
    Optional. Numeric value indicating the kind of comparison to use when evaluating substrings. If omitted, a binary comparison is performed. See Settings for values.

Settings

The Compare argument can have the following values.

StringMatch is zero-length

Start

StringMatch is found within StringCheck

Position at which the first match is found, starting with the right side of the string.

Exceptions

Exception type Error number Condition

ArgumentException

5

Start = 0 or Start < -1.

See the "Error number" column if you are upgrading Visual Basic 6.0 applications that use unstructured error handling. (You can compare the error number against the Number Property (Err Object).) However, when possible, you should consider replacing such error control with Structured Exception Handling Overview for Visual Basic.

Remarks

Note that the syntax for the InStrRev function is not the same as the syntax for the InStr function.
