Re: finding the last occurence of substring in string

Just for the sake of TIMTOWTDI (or fun, or for following Matthew 20:16), you may apply the following algorithm:

get the index of the reversed substring in the reversed string
calculate the position (lengthOfString minus index minus lengthOfSubstring)(with a possible off-by-one-correction)

if you want to get the reverse index why not just use rindex ? :)	[reply]
