# getNextIndexOfObject

Searches the array for an object.

## Declaration

```occ
uint32_t getNextIndexOfObject(const OSMetaClassBase *anObject, uint32_t index) const;
```

## Parameters

- `anObject`: The object to search for.
- `index`: Zero based index less than the array count to begin the search.

## Return Value

Return Value Index at which the object was found, or -1U if the member was not found in the array after the index parameter.

## Discussion

Discussion Beginning at the passed index, iterate the array until the object instance is found or there are no more members. The search is done by pointer equality.
