Description

IndexOfAny returns the zero-based index of the first matching element in an array of characters or strings (AnyOf).

if no match is found, -1 is returned.

The search can be refined by specifying a (zero-based) index StartIndex. When specified, the search will start at the given character. Not specifying this option is equivalent to specifying zero.

If ACount is given, at most ACount characters in the source string will be considered for the search. This count includes the starting character. Not specifying this argument is equivalent to specifying the amount of remaining characters.

If AMatch is specified, on successful return it will contain the index of the element in the array that contains the found match.
