What is index Function in Perl?



Explanation

This function is used to search for one string or substring within another string.

Syntax:
   index STR,SUBSTR,POSITION
   index STR,SUBSTR
Example:
    #! C:\programfiles\perl\bin\perl
    print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
    $str = "hioxindia";
    $chr = "i";
    $out = index($str,$chr);
    print "Index of the $chr is at:$out\n";
    print "<br>";
    $str2= "hiindia";
    $chr2 = "in";
    $out2 = index($str,$chr2);
    print "Index of the substring $chr2 is at:$out2\n";
Result:
    Index of the i is at:1
    Index of the substring chr2 is at:4 

In the above Perl example already a string "hioxindia", is checked for the string "i" and its indexed at "1", then the substring "in" is checked in "hiindia", its indexed at "4".
