std::basic_string::find(3) C++ Standard Libary std::basic_string::find(3) NAME std::basic_string::find - std::basic_string::find Synopsis size_type find( const basic_string& (until str, size_type pos = 0 ) const; C++11) size_type find( const basic_string& (since str, size_type pos = 0 ) const C++11) noexcept; (until C++20) constexpr size_type find( const (since basic_string& str, C++20) size_type pos = 0 ) const noexcept; size_type find( const CharT* s, (until size_type pos, size_type count ) C++20) const; constexpr size_type find( const CharT* s, (since size_type pos, size_type count ) C++20) const; size_type find( const CharT* s, (until size_type pos = 0 ) const; C++20) constexpr size_type find( const (since CharT* s, size_type pos = 0 ) const; (1) C++20) size_type find( CharT ch, size_type (until pos = 0 ) const; C++11) (since size_type find( CharT ch, size_type (2) C++11) pos = 0 ) const noexcept; (until C++20) constexpr size_type find( CharT ch, (since size_type pos = 0 ) const noexcept; (3) C++20) template < class StringViewLike > (since size_type find( const (4) C++17) StringViewLike& t, size_type pos = 0 (until ) const noexcept(/* see below */); C++20) template < class StringViewLike > (5) constexpr size_type find( const (since StringViewLike& t, C++20) size_type pos = 0 ) const noexcept(/* see below */); Finds the first substring equal to the given character sequence. Search begins at pos, i.e. the found substring must not begin in a position preceding pos. 1) Finds the first substring equal to str. 2) Finds the first substring equal to the range [s, s+count). This range may contain null characters. 3) Finds the first substring equal to the character string pointed to by s. The length of the string is determined by the first null character using Traits::length(s). 4) Finds the first character ch (treated as a single-character sub- string by the formal rules below). 5) Implicitly converts t to a string view sv as if by std::ba- sic_string_view<CharT, Traits> sv = t;, then finds the first substring equal to sv. This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_convert- ible_v<const StringViewLike&, std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits>> is true and std::is_convertible_v<const StringViewLike&, const CharT*> is false. Formally, a substring str is said to be found at position xpos if all of the following is true: * xpos >= pos * xpos + str.size() <= size() * for all positions n in str, Traits::eq(at(xpos+n), str.at(n)) In particular, this implies that * a substring can be found only if pos <= size() - str.size() * an empty substring is found at pos if and only if pos <= size() * for a non-empty substring, if pos >= size(), the function always returns npos. Parameters str - string to search for pos - position at which to start the search count - length of substring to search for s - pointer to a character string to search for ch - character to search for t - object (convertible to std::basic_string_view) to search for Return value Position of the first character of the found substring or npos if no such substring is found. Exceptions 1-4) Throws nothing. 5) noexcept specification: noexcept(std::is_nothrow_convertible_v<const T&, std::ba- sic_string_view<CharT, Traits>>) Example // Run this code #include <string> #include <iostream> void print(std::string::size_type n, std::string const &s) { if (n == std::string::npos) { std::cout << "not found\n"; } else { std::cout << "found: " << s.substr(n) << '\n'; } } int main() { std::string::size_type n; std::string const s = "This is a string"; // search from beginning of string n = s.find("is"); print(n, s); // search from position 5 n = s.find("is", 5); print(n, s); // find a single character n = s.find('a'); print(n, s); // find a single character n = s.find('q'); print(n, s); } Output: found: is is a string found: is a string found: a string not found Defect reports The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroac- tively to previously published C++ standards.
