Example for python:

Pretty cool.
"
.rfind returns the index if found, -1 if not found.
"World".rfind("World") returns 0, which will be treated as false.
"foo".rfind("World") returns -1, which will be treated as true.

Yes I agree, that code is not very clean.
Hence I added:
print MyString.rfind("World")
Just to figure out if it indeed prints an index.
Index 0 might be of use too, so checking for true/false like I did above
should not be done.
Consider it incorrect code.
However I didn't care at the time cause I was in a hurry... I knew it was
dirty but this post correct that and warns people not to write code like I
did... just in case ! ;)
And also to let you know I am full aware of the shady nature of this code !
;) =D
Bye,
Skybuck :)
