In string function? 2

[DugzDMan]

Is there an In string type function in CF. In VB there is the InStr(String A, String B) function which searchs String A for the presence of String B. If it is found, it returns the position where String B starts in String A. If it isn't found, it returns 0.

I'm looking for something similar in CF.

Example: If I'm looking for Houston:

My values:       Returns
Dallas           False
Houston          True
Dallas, Houston  True

Anything like that (or something similar that I can check for)?

Thanks!

Check out the functions:
Find() and FindNoCase()

Example:

Find("Houston","Dallas, Houston",1) will return 9.

The FindNoCase() function ignores case.

Yes... it's

Find()

or

FindNoCase()

. There are also RegEx versions

REFind()

or

REFindNoCase()

respectively, that let you find regular expressions rather than strings.
