How to search a string?

[lolp1]

Hello, I need to find a way to search for a string inside a string... I can't find the func in help file...

My goal is to do something like this, search for the string inside a string, and if it is found act accordingly.

Example:

If $stringsearch > 1 then

; do what ever.

(Assuming it = 1 if it finds the string)

Try function StringInStr.

How comes if I use this help file code I get RESULT '10' ? shouldnt the result be 'ring' ?

$result = StringInStr("I am a String", "ring")
MsgBox(0, "Search result:", $result)

These are the return values of StringInStr():

Success: Returns the position of the substring.

Failure: Returns 0 if substring not found.

@Error 0 - Normal operation

1 - Occurrence was 0. Occurrence must be a positive or negative integer.

Basically, it's just useful to know if the substring is in the string and where it is.

Just do a $str = StringTrimLeft($str, $result) and you'll get ring.

Just do a $str = StringTrimLeft($str, $result) and you'll get ring.

That has nothing to do with searching a string.

When you are searching like this and expecting the same value you entered to be returned that makes no sense, that value is already known.

$result = StringInStr("I am a String", "ring")
MsgBox(0, "Search result:", $result)oÝ÷ Øò¢èî²ÙÞyÖ¢^j{j·!Ê¢Øb±«­¢+Ù%MÑÉ¥¹%¹MÑÈ ÅÕ½Ðí$´MÑÉ¥¹ÅÕ½Ðì°ÅÕ½ÐíÉ¥¹ÅÕ½Ðì¤Q¡¸(í
