    umbraco.library has LastIndexOf, not IndexOf?!

    Hi guys,

    Can anyone explain to me, why the umbraco library does contain a LastIndexOf method, but does not contain a IndexOf method?

    Interesting question!

    In my experience I am usually in a for-each loop and can simply check the position(). Would that work for you?

    Otherwise, maybe a quick little c# helper function in your xslt? For an example of how to do that, check out http://blog.percipientstudios.com/2009/9/21/advanced-xslt-with-net-namespaces.aspx

    cheers,
    doug.

    Doug,

    I'm not trying to solve anything for me ;-)
    LastIndexOf suits my needs in this case, but I was just wondering why IndexOf doesn't exist in the library...

    Because there's native support for this in xpath. It's called "substring-before" (http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTreference/Output/function_substring-before.html).
