pandas.Series.str.rindex#

Series.str.rindex(sub, start=0, end=None)[source]#

Return highest indexes in each string in Series/Index.

Each of the returned indexes corresponds to the position where the substring is fully contained between [start:end]. This is the same as str.rfind except instead of returning -1, it raises a ValueError when the substring is not found. Equivalent to standard str.rindex.

Parameters:

substr: Substring being searched.
startint: Left edge index.
endint: Right edge index.

Returns:

Series or Index of object
