find

Find one string within another (case-sensitive, no wildcards).

Syntax

v = find(find_text, within_text, start_num)

Description

Like search but case-sensitive and without wildcard support.

Note: name-clashes with the script-mode find(logical_array) operation that returns indices of nonzero elements. In Excel-compatible mode, this string-search version is used.

Example

find('World', 'Hello World')   % 7
