WORDATC Function

Syntax

Arguments

word: The word to find in Input_String.
string: A character string.
separator: Optional. Default = space (" "). The character string that separates words.

Description

Discussion

WORDATC() returns the word number of Word in 'string'. Case sensitive. If the optional separator parameter is not specified, a word is any sequence of one or more characters separated either by a space or the start or end of the string.

Example

wordatc("test", "This is a test") -> 4
dim fruits as C
fruits = "apple" + crlf() + "banana" + crlf() + "grape" + crlf() + "peach" + crlf() + "plum"
wordatc("banana", fruits, crlf() ) ? 2
wordatc("Banana", fruits, crlf() ) ? 0

Limitations

The Word argument is case sensitive.
