SMALL BASIC: Search for all occurances of a character

Hello SMALL BASIC Programmer, Welcome.

In this  tutorial we will learn about how to search for occurances of a character through out the string, i.e. search for index of occurance of a character through all the string.


string_to_search_in = "192.168.1.1"
character_to_search_for = "."

x = Text.GetSubTextToEnd(string_to_search_in,1)
y = Text.GetIndexOf(x,character_to_search_for)

While y <> 0
    x = Text.GetSubTextToEnd(x,y+1)
    TextWindow.WriteLine(x)
    y = Text.GetIndexOf(x,".")
    TextWindow.WriteLine(y)
    Program.Delay(1000)
EndWhile

TextWindow.WriteLine(y)

So, if you want to save it into an array, it also can be done below:

host_ip_address = "192.168.1.1"
i=0
found = 0

x = Text.GetSubTextToEnd(host_ip_address,1)
y[i] = Text.GetIndexOf(x,".")
found = y[i]
z[i] = found

While y[i] <> 0
    x = Text.GetSubTextToEnd(x,y[i]+1)
    'TextWindow.WriteLine(x)
    i = i + 1
   
    y[i] = Text.GetIndexOf(x,".")
   
    If y[i] <> 0 Then
      TextWindow.WriteLine(i)
      found = found + y[i]
      z[i] = found
    EndIf
    'TextWindow.WriteLine(y)
    'Program.Delay(1000)
EndWhile

For i = 0 To Array.GetItemCount(z) - 1
  TextWindow.Write(i + ": ")
  TextWindow.WriteLine(z[i])
EndFor
