INSTR

pos = INSTR ([start,] s1, s2)

Home > Reference > String

Returns the position pos of the first occurrence of the string s2 in string s1 (starting from the position start). If there is no match, INSTR returns 0.

Example 1: Get position starting a the beginning of the string

s1 = "abcdef"
s2 = "cd"
print instr(s1, s2)  ' Output 3

Example 2: Get position using a starting point

s1 = "abcdefabcd"
s2 = "ab"
print instr(3, s1, s2)  ' Output: 7  (instead of 1)
