#

For each element, return the lowest index in the string where substring sub is found, such that sub is contained in the range [start, end).

Parameters:aarray_like, with StringDType, bytes_ or str_ dtypesubarray_like, with bytes_ or str_ dtypeThe substring to search for.

start, endarray_like, with any integer dtypeThe range to look in, interpreted as in slice notation.

Returns:yndarrayOutput array of ints
