Lua Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77+

StringBuilder GetAfterFinal

Demonstrates the StringBuilder.GetAfterFinal method. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local sb = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
local success = sb:append("111--222--333--444")

-- The GetAfterFinal method returns the contents of the string after the final occurrence of
-- the marker string.  If the remove flag is true, then both the returned string AND
-- the marker are removed.

-- If the marker is not found, then the entire string is returned and the sb is cleared.
local removeFlag = true
local marker = "--"
local substr = ""
while sb.length > 0 do
    substr = sb:get_after_final(marker, removeFlag)
    print("substr = " .. substr .. ", sb contains: " .. sb:get_as_string())
end

-- Output:
-- substr = 444, sb contains: 111--222--333
-- substr = 333, sb contains: 111--222
-- substr = 222, sb contains: 111
-- substr = 111, sb contains:
