Need Stringinstr help

[zig05]

I am trying to get autoit to search for the location of a string within a string. My syntax won't work. It doesn't find my variable $shortaddress in the string $pagedata even when it is there. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong. (probably alot) Thanks so much for any help.

$addressposition = Stringinstr($pagedata, $shortaddress, 0, 1)

I think we all need further information. Perhaps the variable is a number not string. Perhaps the variable isn't configured properly. Difficult to help. Greetings from Germany Johannes

The last 2 parameters are optional and since you are setting them to default, then omit them.

This simple example shows the position as shown in the Msgbox.

$pagedata = '1234567890'

; Change to any integer in the string to test 
$shortaddress = '7'

$addressposition = Stringinstr($pagedata, $shortaddress)

; Show result
MsgBox(0, '$addressposition', $addressposition)

YOU ARE THE GREATEST! It may seem like it was a retarded question, but I had tried reformatting that thing a dozen different ways. Dropping the last two parameters fixed it!!!

Thanks so much!
