WORD_NUMBER_GET Function

Syntax

Arguments

string

The list to examine.

substring

The character string to find. Case sensitive.

delimiter

Default = CR-LF. The separator between character strings. Note that the space (" ") character may not be used as a delimiter.

match_full_words_only

Logical. Optional. Default = .F. .T. = Match full words only .F. = Match character strings or full words

caseSensitive

Description

Discussion

WORD_NUMBER_GET() returns the integer list position of the Find_String in the Search_In_String. Each character string must be separated by a delimiter, which by default is CR-LF. The function returns 0 if Find_String was not found.

Example

? word_number_get(cstates() , "Maryland", crlf() )
= 21
? word_number_get(cstates() , "Mary", crlf() , .T.)
= 0
? word_number_get(cstates() , "Mary", crlf() )
= 21
? word_number_get(cstates() , "land", crlf() )
= 21
? word_number_get(cstates() , "Max", crlf() )
= 0
