------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Apr 5 20:58:09 +0000 2007 ------- The patch implements a more advanced FIND() function with the following characteristics: DESCRIPTION - string starts at position 1 - ends at =LEN(string) 1. IF string is NOT found, it returns 0 instead of an ERROR, therefore greatly simplifying complex operations with strings! 2. one can explicitly specify the START position within the string - IF START < 1, it automatically sets the START = 1 3. one can explicitly specify the END position within the string - IF END > LEN(string), it automatically sets END = LEN(string) 4. IF( START > END), it returns 0 By defining a START and END position, searching inside strings is greatly simplified. There is NO need to first compute a substring; rather it is possible to specify the substring directly inside the FindEx() function. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
