<B>INSTR Find Substring</B>
<B>INSTR</B>([<U>start</U>,] <U>stringexp1</U>,<U>stringexp2</U>)
Returns the character position within a string at which a substring is
found.
<U>stringexp1</U> The string to be scanned.
<U>stringexp2</U> The substring to be searched for.
<U>start</U> A numeric expression in the range 1 to 255; an optional
offset from which to start searching.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<B>Notes:</B> If <U>start</U> is specified, BASIC begins searching at the
character at offset <U>start</U> (The first character in the
string is at offset 1). Whether or not <U>start</U> is specified,
INSTR returns the position at which <U>stringexp2</U> is found--
relative to the first character in the string (not to
<U>start</U>).
If <U>stringexp1</U> is null or if <U>start</U> is greater than
LEN(<U>stringexp1</U>), INSTR returns 0.
If <U>stringexp2</U> is null, then INSTR returns 1 (if <U>start</U> was
specified, then INSTR returns <U>start</U>.
