From: Toby DiPasquale Date: 2006-01-25T05:05:55+09:00 Subject: String search backwards? Hi all, Can Ruby search a string backwards? I can't find any reference to this in the docs or online, but it seems as if you should be able to do this. What I would like, ideally, is a method like: n = rstrstr( orig_str, sub_str) where n is the starting index of the last occurrence of sub_str in orig_str. Anybody know how to do this? I tried using the 'r' modifier to // but that failed as well. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
