How do you search a word within a string?

<i><b>Originally posted by : Vennie (petitecorn@rcn.com)</b></i><br />Hi:<br /><br />I was wondering if anybody can help me with this. I need to search for a word within a string(such as returning true if the program finds the word "you" in the string "how do you do this?") Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.<br /><br />Ven.<br />

The syntax for it is:<br /><br />instr(<start>,string 1, string 2, <compare>)<br /><br />this function returns the start position where it string 2 within string 1. if it returns a value of 0 then string 2 doesn't exist within string 1. the first parameter denotes the position where instr starts searching and the last parameter denotes which type of comparison it does (0 for case sensitive and 1 for case insensitive)<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />------------<br />Vennie at 2/28/2000 10:36:20 AM<br /><br />Hi:<br /><br />I was wondering if anybody can help me with this.

I tried looking it up in my book, but couldn't find it. =)<br /><br />Ven.<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Karl at 3/1/2000 9:19:30 AM<br /><br /><br />Ven,<br />Use the instring function.
