# PathFindSuffixArrayA(3w)

## NAME

**PathFindSuffixArrayA** (SHLWAPI.@)

## SYNOPSIS

LPCSTR PathFindSuffixArrayA\
  (\
   LPCSTR  *lpszSuffix*,\
   LPCSTR\* *lppszArray*,\
   int     *dwCount*\
  )

## DESCRIPTION

Find a suffix string in an array of suffix strings.

## PARAMS

*lpszSuffix* **\[In\]**  Suffix string to search for.

*lppszArray* **\[In\]**  Array of suffix strings to search.

*dwCount* **\[In\]**  Number of elements in *lppszArray*.

## RETURNS

**Success:** The index of the position of *lpszSuffix* in *lppszArray*

**Failure:** **0**, if any parameters are invalid or *lpszSuffix* is not found.

## NOTES

The search is case sensitive. The match is made against the end of the suffix string, so for example: *lpszSuffix*=**"fooBAR"** matches **"BAR"**, but *lpszSuffix*=**"fooBARfoo"** does not.

## IMPLEMENTATION

Declared in **"shlwapi.h"**.

Implemented in **"dlls/shlwapi/path.c"**.

Debug channel **"shell"**.
