Operator Reference
tuple_find (Operator)
tuple_find
— Return the indices of all occurrences of a tuple within another tuple.
Signature
Description
tuple_find
searches Tuple
sequentially for all
occurrences of the values of the second tuple ToFind
and
returns the indices in Indices
(in relation to the first
input tuple Tuple
). For example, if Tuple
contains the values [3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,0] and ToFind
contains
the values [3,4], the output tuple Indices
will contain the
values [0,6]. If the first tuple does not contain the second tuple
as a subtuple, tuple_find
returns -1 in Indices
. It
is allowed to mix strings and numbers in the input tuples.
Exception: Empty input tuples
If either or both of the input tuples are empty, the operator returns an empty tuple.
HDevelop In-line Operation
HDevelop provides an in-line operation for tuple_find
,
which can be used in an expression in the following syntax:
Indices := find(Tuple, ToFind)
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: independent (runs in parallel even with exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
Tuple
(input_control) tuple(-array) →

(integer / real / string)
Input tuple with values to find.
Indices
(output_control) integer(-array) →
(integer)
Indices of the occurrences of the values to find in the tuple to examine.
