I am trying to find some examples but no luck. Does anyone know of some examples on the net? I would like to know what it returns when it can't find, and how to specify from start to end, which I guess is going to be 0, -1.

String find() in Python Just call the method on the string object to search for a string, like so: obj. find(“search”). The find() method searches for a query string and returns the character position if found. If the string is not found, it returns -1.
Strings in python are surrounded by either single quotation marks, or double quotation marks. 'hello' is the same as "hello".
String find is used to find the first occurrence of sub-string in the specified string being called upon. It returns the index of the first occurrence of the substring in the string from given starting position. The default value of starting position is 0.
The find() method finds the first occurrence of the specified value. The find() method returns -1 if the value is not found.
I'm not sure what you're looking for, do you mean find()?
>>> x = "Hello World" >>> x.find('World') 6 >>> x.find('Aloha'); -1 you can use str.index too:
>>> 'sdfasdf'.index('cc') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#144>", line 1, in <module> 'sdfasdf'.index('cc') ValueError: substring not found >>> 'sdfasdf'.index('df') 1 If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
