instring function in ACL

[ebenton]

I am looking for an ACL function that will do what the VB function instr() does, which searches one string to see if it contains another string; e.g., to see if "to" is in "Benton" (it is!).

Anyone?

See the ACL Reference PDF manual or help 638.

I just started using SUBSTR myself a few days ago. Commands include SUB, SUBSTR, GSUB, REPLACE.

And don't forget the ever popular index() and rindex() functions in ACL.

index(s1, s2);

This function returns the position in string s1 of the first occurrence of string s2, based at 1. If the substring is not found, 0 is returned. For example, the value of index("rnotes9302", "9302") would be 7.

Thanks.
