Description

The String Find block returns the index of the first occurrence of the pattern string sub in the text string str.

Ports

Input

expand all

String in which to find pattern (sub), specified as a scalar.

Data Types: string

Pattern to be found in string (str), specified as a scalar.

Data Types: string

Output

expand all

Position index of the found pattern, specified as a positive integer scalar.

  • If the block does not find the pattern, it returns -1.

  • If the sub parameter is empty (""), the block returns 1, indicating that it matched the beginning of the searched string.

Data Types: int32

Parameters

expand all

Output data type. The type can be inherited, specified directly, or expressed as a data type object such as Simulink.NumericType.

When you select an inherited option, the block exhibits these behaviors:

  • Inherit: Inherit via internal rule — Simulink® chooses a data type to balance numerical accuracy, performance, and generated code size, while taking into account the properties of the embedded target hardware.

  • Inherit: Inherit via back propagation — Use data type of the driving block.

Click the Show data type assistant button to display the Data Type Assistant, which helps you set the data type attributes. See Specify Data Types Using Data Type Assistant for more information.
