The C++ std::string::rfind() function is used to locate the last occurrence of a specified substring or character within a string. It searches from the end of the string towards the beginning, providing a reverse search capability. It returns the position of the substring or character if found, otherwise it returns std::string::npos.
SyntaxFollowing is the syntax for std::string::rfind() function.
size_t rfind (const string& str, size_t pos = npos) const noexcept; or size_t rfind (const char* s, size_t pos = npos) const; or size_t rfind (const char* s, size_t pos, size_t n) const; or size_t rfind (char c, size_t pos = npos) const noexcept;Parameters
This function returns the position of the first charcter of last match.
Example 1Following is an example to find the std::string::find using C++.
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <cstddef> int main() { std::string str("sairamkrishna mammahe is a one of the tech person in tutorialspoint.com"); std::string key("mammahe"); std::size_t found = str.rfind(key); if (found != std::string::npos) str.replace(found, key.length(), "tech"); std::cout << str << '\n'; return 0; }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
sairamkrishna tech is a one of the tech person in tutorialspoint.comExample 2
In the below program, we have initialized string x = "Tutorialspoint is a educate company!" and given the position to search = "educate" using string::rfind() function. So it prints position of that particular first character of last match of that word.
#include<iostream> #include<string> using namespace std; int main() { string x = "Tutorialspoint is educate company!"; string position = "educate"; int i = x.rfind(position); cout << i; return 0; }Output
If we run the above code it will generate the following output.
18Example 3
In below program we have initialized string x and we are declared finding a single chararacter in the string by using string::rfind() function.
#include<iostream> #include<string> using namespace std; int main() { string x = "Tutorialspoint"; int i = x.rfind('a'); cout << i; return 0; }Output
Following is the output of the above code.
6Example 4
In the below program we have initialized string x and passing the position as the parameter by giving x.find() using string::find() function.
#include<iostream> #include<string> using namespace std; int main() { string x = "Computer Science Engineering"; int i = x.rfind("Science", 10); cout << i; return 0; }Output
Following is the output of the above code.
