StringInStr Functionality

[anixon]

The name to match is always going to be unique it can be all alpha, alpha numeric or numeric.

This code works fine:

$sNameToMatch = "smith"

$pNameToMatch = "jones smith brown green white black"

$NameMatched = StringInStr($sNametoMatch, $pNameToMatch)

Where the variable you want to match is a numeric [like a phone number] it does not work

$sNameToMatch = "61390902657"

$pNameToMatch = "jones smith brown 61390902657 white black"

$NameMatched = StringInStr($sNametoMatch, $pNameToMatch)

Is this a simple case of converting the number to text [for example - a61390902657] or is it achieved in some other way?

Help is always appreciated.. Ant..

What do you mean it doesn't work? That should work just fine. Are you sure the numeric formatting is the same?

I think you have strings wrong way arround. Try

$NameMatched = StringInStr($pNametoMatch, $sNameToMatch)

Sorry I got it the wrong way round with the variables

$pNameToMatch [Process name to match] = 'smith'

$sNameToMatch [string containing name to match] "jones smith brown green white black"

In which case this code is correct

$NameMatched = StringInStr($sNametoMatch, $pNameToMatch)

Result should be 7

Are you saying that

$pNameToMatch [Process name to match] = '123456'

$sNameToMatch [string containing name to match] "jones 123456 brown green white black"

$NameMatched = StringInStr($sNametoMatch, $pNameToMatch)

will produce the the same result 7?
