Instring

Pos = Instring(SearchString$, FindString$, [Starting Pos=1], [CaseInSensitive=1])

Parameters:     SearchString$ = The string you wish to search through     FindString$ = The word or characters you wish to find     [Starting Pos=1] = The character to start searching at     [CaseInSensitive=1] = Flag to force the searching to be case sensitive or not (0=case sensitive, 1= case insensitive).

Returns:     Pos = The character position of the found item (0 if not found)

The Instring() function will locate the position of either words or characters within a string. FACTS:       * Instring returns a zero if the string was not found. Mini Tutorial:       This example uses the Instring to locate words and characters within the test strings.       ; Find and display what character the word "Basic" ; start at within the string "Play Basic"   Print InString("Play Basic","Basic",1,0)    ; Find and display where the first "a" character ; is within the string "Play Basic"   Print InString("Play Basic","a",1,0)    ; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key   Sync   WaitKey    This example would output.      6.0   3.0
