String.IndexOfAny Method

Definition

Reports the index of the first occurrence in this instance of any character in a specified array of Unicode characters. The method returns -1 if the characters in the array are not found in this instance.

Overloads

IndexOfAny(Char[])

Reports the zero-based index of the first occurrence in this instance of any character in a specified array of Unicode characters.

IndexOfAny(Char[], Int32)

Reports the zero-based index of the first occurrence in this instance of any character in a specified array of Unicode characters. The search starts at a specified character position.

IndexOfAny(Char[], Int32, Int32)

Reports the zero-based index of the first occurrence in this instance of any character in a specified array of Unicode characters. The search starts at a specified character position and examines a specified number of character positions.

Source:

Reports the zero-based index of the first occurrence in this instance of any character in a specified array of Unicode characters.

public:
 int IndexOfAny(cli::array <char> ^ anyOf);
public int IndexOfAny (char[] anyOf);
member this.IndexOfAny : char[] -> int
Public Function IndexOfAny (anyOf As Char()) As Integer

Parameters

anyOf
Char[]

A Unicode character array containing one or more characters to seek.

Returns

The zero-based index position of the first occurrence in this instance where any character in anyOf was found; -1 if no character in anyOf was found.

Exceptions

anyOf is null.

Examples

The following example finds the first vowel in a string.

using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      char[] chars = { 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'y', 
                       'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U', 'Y' };
      String s = "The long and winding road...";
      Console.WriteLine("The first vowel in \n   {0}\nis found at position {1}", 
                        s, s.IndexOfAny(chars) + 1);                         
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       The first vowel in
//          The long and winding road...
//       is found at position 3
let chars = [| 'a'; 'e'; 'i'; 'o'; 'u'; 'y'
               'A'; 'E'; 'I'; 'O'; 'U'; 'Y' |]
let s = "The long and winding road..."
printfn $"The first vowel in \n   {s}\nis found at position {s.IndexOfAny chars + 1}"
// The example displays the following output:
//       The first vowel in
//          The long and winding road...
//       is found at position 3
Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim chars() As Char = { "a"c, "e"c, "i"c, "o"c, "u"c, "y"c, 
                              "A"c, "E"c, "I"c, "O"c, "U"c, "Y"c }
      Dim s As String = "The long and winding road..."
      Console.WriteLine("The first vowel in {2}   {0}{2}is found at position {1}", 
                        s, s.IndexOfAny(chars) + 1, vbCrLf)                         
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'       The first vowel in
'          The long and winding road...
'       is found at position 3

Remarks

Index numbering starts from zero.

The search for anyOf is case-sensitive. If anyOf is an empty array, the method finds a match at the beginning of the string (that is, at index zero).

This method performs an ordinal (culture-insensitive) search, where a character is considered equivalent to another character only if their Unicode scalar values are the same. To perform a culture-sensitive search, use the CompareInfo.IndexOf method, where a Unicode scalar value representing a precomposed character, such as the ligature "Æ" (U+00C6), might be considered equivalent to any occurrence of the character's components in the correct sequence, such as "AE" (U+0041, U+0045), depending on the culture.
