Python: Finding the index of a substring in a string

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am trying to find out the index of a substring in a string. "in" tells that the string is present but "find" is returning -1.

import numpy as np
cnt = 0
response = "the following information: Your Email address."
ind = "Your Email address".find(response)
print("index =", ind)
if "Your Email address" in response:
    print("Yes")

Somebody please guide me how can I get the index of substring in the string.

Following is the output:

index = -1
Yes

The correct concept is:


ind = response.find("Your Email address)

 

That seems pretty close. Add the missing " after the string and the code will run:

ind = response.find("Your Email address")
