substring of a variable
|
Ok, I have a variable named status which contains something like:
(sleep)(w)(th)(hu)
Is there an easy way to test to see if it contains a certain string? (like sleep)
I thought there was a function for this, but now I can't find it in the help file.
Thanx,
AzCowboy |

Pos() is what you're looking for. Excerpt from the help file attached.
-Tarn
pos
Syntax: %pos(p,s)
return the position of pattern p in string s. Return 0/false if not found
Examples:
#SHOW %pos(ABC,12AB56ABC10ABC)
displays: 7 |
