Finds the last character equal to one of characters in the given character sequence. Exact search algorithm is not specified. The search considers only the interval [0; pos]. If the character is not present in the interval, npos will be returned.

1) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in str.

2) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in the first count characters of the character string pointed to by s. s can include null characters.

3) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in character string pointed to by s. The length of the string is determined by the first null character.

4) Finds the last character equal to ch.

5) Finds the last character equal to one of characters in sv.

In all cases, equality is checked by calling Traits::eq.

Parameters

str	-	string identifying characters to search for
pos	-	position at which the search is to finish
count	-	length of character string identifying characters to search for
s	-	pointer to a character string identifying characters to search for
ch	-	character to search for
sv	-	std::basic_string_view identifying the characters to search for

Return value

Position of the found character or npos if no such character is found.

Exceptions

1-4) (none)	(until C++11)
1,4) noexcept specification:   noexcept    2,3) (none)	(since C++11) (until C++14)
1) noexcept specification:   noexcept    2,3,4) (none)	(since C++14)
5) noexcept specification:   noexcept	(since C++17)

Example

Run this code

#include<string>
#include<iostream>
int main()
{
    const std::string path="/root/config";
    auto const pos=path.find_last_of('/');
    const auto leaf=path.substr(pos+1);
 
    std::cout << leaf << '\n';
}

Output:

config
