anyOf

A Unicode character array containing one or more characters to seek.

startIndex

The search starting position.

The positive integer index of the last occurrence in the given String where any character in anyOf was found; otherwise, -1 if no character in anyOf was found.

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	anyOf is a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ).
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	startIndex specifies a position not within the given String.

This method begins searching at the startIndex character position of this instance and precedes backwards towards the beginning until either a character in anyOf is found or the first character position has been examined. The search is case-sensitive.

This method performs an ordinal ( culture-insensitive ) search, where a character is considered equivalent to another character only if the Unicode values are the same. To perform a culture-sensitive search, use the CompareInfo.IndexOf method, where a Unicode value representing a precomposed character, such as the ligature 'Æ' ( U+00C6 ), might be considered equivalent to any occurrence of the character's components in the correct sequence, such as "AE" ( U+0041, U+0045 ), depending on the culture.
