FINDB

Description: Finds one text string within another text string, and returns the number of the starting position of Find_text, from the leftmost character of Within_text. FINDB is case sensitive and cannot include wildcard characters. This function is for use with double-byte characters.

Syntax: FINDB(Find_text, Within_text, [Start_num])

Remarks:

Example:

In the following example, FINDB returns 3 because each character is counted by its bytes; the first character has 2 bytes, so the second character begins at byte 3.
