I want to convert this PHP code into LUA language. The problem is that there is no stripos function that counts the first occurrence of the desired LUA word.
How can I convert the code below?
<?php
echo stripos("I love php, I love php too!","PHP");
?>
In order to do the case-insensitive search, you can use string.lower() to convert the letters to lowercase and look for the first occurrence with string.find() .
function stripos (palheiro, agulha)
palheiro = string.lower(palheiro)
agulha = string.lower(agulha)
if palheiro ~= nil and agulha ~= nil then
return (string.find(palheiro, agulha) -1)
else
return nil
end
end
print(stripos("I love php, I love php too!", "PHP"))
