I want to find string which has maximum index e.g. in this case w_50

You could take a look at StringFind, StringLen and StringSubstr in documentation string functions. 

Then figure out a way to extract the number from the string so you can compare them and keep the

index of the highest number.

If you have questions about this write back.

Hello,

You can find the largest or lowest value by sorting the contents of the array.

Since the contents of your array are strings, the numbers must be in the following format:

w_01
w_02
w_03
...
w_50

[William Roeder]

There are no numbers in a string. ("_10" comes before "_9", etc.)

Isolate the number part, convert it to a number, and store them in a numeric array.

Now you can search that and get the index for both.
