# IndexDWord

Search for a DWord value in a memory range.

## Declaration

Source position: systemh.inc line 545

`function IndexDWord(`
`const buf;`
`len: SizeInt;`
`b: DWord`
`):SizeInt;`

## Description

IndexChar searches the memory at buf for maximally len positions for the DWord DW and returns it's position if it found one. If DW is not found then -1 is returned. The position is zero-based.

## Errors

Buf and Len are not checked to see if they are valid values.

## Example

    Program Example106;

    { Program to demonstrate the IndexDWord function. }

    Const
      ArraySize = 1000;
      MaxValue = 1000;

    Var
      Buffer : Array[1..ArraySize] of DWord;
      I,J : longint;
      K : DWord;

    begin
      Randomize;
      For I:=1 To ArraySize do
        Buffer[I]:=Random(MaxValue);
      For I:=1 to 10 do
        begin
        K:=Random(MaxValue);
        J:=IndexDWord(Buffer,ArraySize,K);
        if J=-1 then
          Writeln('Value ',K,' was not found in buffer.')
        else
          Writeln('Found ',K,' at position ',J,' in buffer');
        end;
    end.
