Function: aindexc

Syntax

aindexc (<value>,<array> {... <array} )

Type

numeric

Returns

The occurrences of one value within an array of values of similar type. If occurrences are found, one or more array indices, starting at one, are returned, otherwise zero is returned. When the identifier type is of type string, the search is case-sensitive.

Parameters

<value>
A value to test for. This may be any scalar value, e.g. a numeric, point, string, time.
<array>
An array of similar type to <value>. Multiple arrays may be searched, in which case the return value(s) are accumulative.

Examples

The following returns two values: 1 and 5.

string ss[] = <'aa','bb','bb','AA','aa'><
numeric i[] = aindexc('aa',ss)

Since the destination is a scalar, the following returns one value: 1.
