Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character, starting the search at the specified index.
If a character with value ch
occurs in the
character sequence represented by this String
object at an index no smaller than fromIndex
, then
the index of the first such occurrence is returned. For values
of ch
in the range from 0 to 0xFFFF (inclusive),
this is the smallest value k such that:
is true. For other values of(this.charAt(k) == ch) && (k >= fromIndex)
ch
, it is the
smallest value k such that:
is true. In either case, if no such character occurs in this string at or after position(this.codePointAt(k) == ch) && (k >= fromIndex)
fromIndex
, then
-1
is returned.
There is no restriction on the value of fromIndex
. If it
is negative, it has the same effect as if it were zero: this entire
string may be searched. If it is greater than the length of this
string, it has the same effect as if it were equal to the length of
this string: -1
is returned.
All indices are specified in char
values
(Unicode code units).
ch | a character (Unicode code point). | |
fromIndex | the index to start the search from. |
fromIndex
, or -1
if the character does not occur.
