Description

tuple_strchrtuple_strchrTupleStrchrTupleStrchrtuple_strchr searches within the strings of the input tuple StringStringStringstringValstring for the characters of the input tuple ToFindToFindToFindtoFindto_find. Both input tuples may only consist of strings. Otherwise tuple_strchrtuple_strchrTupleStrchrTupleStrchrtuple_strchr returns an error. If the elements of ToFindToFindToFindtoFindto_find contain more than one character, only the first character of each element is considered for searching. If StringStringStringstringValstring contains only one string, all the characters defined in ToFindToFindToFindtoFindto_find are searched in this string. Thus, the output tuple consists of as many elements as ToFindToFindToFindtoFindto_find. Whenever a searched character has been found, the position of its first occurrence gets stored in the output tuple PositionPositionPositionpositionposition (remark: the position starts at 0 for the first character of a string). If a character can not be found, -1 will be returned instead of its position. If both input tuples show the same number of elements, the search is done elementwise. I.e., the first character of the first element of ToFindToFindToFindtoFindto_find is searched within the first string of StringStringStringstringValstring, the first character of the second element of ToFindToFindToFindtoFindto_find is searched within the second string of StringStringStringstringValstring and so on. The results of the elementwise searches are returned with PositionPositionPositionpositionposition that contains as many elements as StringStringStringstringValstring and ToFindToFindToFindtoFindto_find. If ToFindToFindToFindtoFindto_find only contains one string, its first character is searched within all strings of StringStringStringstringValstring. Thus, in this case PositionPositionPositionpositionposition consists of as many elements as StringStringStringstringValstring. If both input tuples contain more than one element and the number of elements differs for the input tuples, tuple_strchrtuple_strchrTupleStrchrTupleStrchrtuple_strchr returns an error.

If either or both of the input tuples are empty, the operator returns an empty tuple.

Unicode code points versus bytes

The position references Unicode code points. One Unicode code point may be composed of multiple bytes in the UTF-8 string. If the position should reference the raw bytes of the string, this operator can be switched to byte mode with set_system('tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode','byte')set_system("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode","byte")SetSystem("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode","byte")SetSystem("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode","byte")set_system("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode","byte"). If 'filename_encoding'"filename_encoding""filename_encoding""filename_encoding""filename_encoding" is set to 'locale'"locale""locale""locale""locale" (legacy), this operator always uses the byte mode.

HDevelop In-line Operation

HDevelop provides an in-line operation for tuple_strchrtuple_strchrTupleStrchrTupleStrchrtuple_strchr, which can be used in an expression in the following syntax:

Position := strchr(String, 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.
