Target member

Signature

1string->find(find::string, offset::integer= ?, length::integer= ?, -case::boolean= ?)

Finds a substring.

string->find is called with member syntax on a receiver value. string->find works with text values. Normalize input at boundaries, escape at output boundaries, and keep encoding calls close to the place where the encoded text is needed.

Parameters

find: Required value of type string. Supply find positionally unless the signature shows a keyword form.
offset: Optional value of type integer. Supply offset positionally unless the signature shows a keyword form.
length: Optional value of type integer. Supply length positionally unless the signature shows a keyword form.
-case: Optional value of type boolean. Supply -case by keyword, keeping the leading hyphen in the call.

Examples

Basic call

1'abcabc'->find('bc')

The example shows the receiver and result shape. In templates, apply escaping at the final output boundary.
