Summary

The lastindexof macro searches for a value in combined lists and returns the 0-based index position of its last occurrence, or -1 if not found.

Syntax

${lastindexof;<value>;<list>[;<list>...]}

Parameters

• value - The value to search for
• list - One or more comma-separated lists to search in

Behavior

${lastindexof;target;${list1};${list2}}

Check existence:

${if;${matches;${lastindexof;test;${list}};-?[0-9]+};found;not-found}
