IndexOf()
Searches for the specified var and returns the index of the first occurrence within the entire instance.
Overrides MfListBase.IndexOf()
OutputVar := instance.IndexOf(obj [, StartIndex, Count, IgnoreCase])
Searches for the specified var and returns the index of the first occurrence within the entire instance.
obj
The char code integer or instance of MfCharList or string to find matching index of within current instance of MfCharList.
Can be var integer or var string or instance of MfCharList or instance of MfString or any type that matches IsIntegerNumber.
StartIndex
Optional, the zero-based startIndex to start searching within the current instance of MfCharList.
If omitted the the then searching begin at index zero.
Count
Optional, the number of elements from StartIndex to check for index of obj within current instance of MfCharList.
If omitted then search starts at StartIndex and searches all elements of the current instance until if and when index is found.
IgnoreCase
Optional, if true then case will be ignored when searching for index; Otherwise case will be considered.
Default value is true.
Returns index of the first occurrence of value within the entire instance.
This method performs a linear search; therefore, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
If obj is integer value then current instance searches for the index of the first matching char code.
If obj is a string then then current instance searches for the index of the first matching values that match the char codes in obj while observing IgnoreCase.
