size_type find_first_of( const CharT* s, size_type pos = 0 ) const;
(3)

(4)

Finds the first character equal to one of characters in the given character sequence. Search begins at pos, i.e. the found character must not be in position preceding pos.

1) Finds the first character equal to one of characters in str.
2) Finds the first character equal to one of characters in the first count characters of the character string pointed to by s. s can include null characters.
3) Finds the first character equal to one of characters in character string pointed to by s. The length of the string is determined by the first null character.
4) Finds the first character equal to ch.

[edit] Parameters

str - string identifying characters to search for
pos - position at which to begin searching
count - length of character string identifying characters to search for
s - pointer to a character string identifying characters to search for
ch - character to search for

[edit] Return value

Position of the found character or npos if no such character is found.

[edit] Notes

traits::eq() is used to perform the comparison.

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    // the test string
    std::string str = std::string("Hello World!");
 
    // strings and chars to search for
    std::string search_str = std::string("o");
    const char* search_cstr = "Good Bye!";
 
    std::cout << str.find_first_of(search_str) << '\n';
    std::cout << str.find_first_of(search_str, 5) << '\n';
    std::cout << str.find_first_of(search_cstr) << '\n';
    std::cout << str.find_first_of(search_cstr, 0, 4) << '\n';
    // 'x' is not in "Hello World', thus it will return std::string::npos
    std::cout << str.find_first_of('x') << '\n';
}
