Purpose

Function to return the numeric position of the first occurrence of a specified character string in another character string

Syntax

INDEXOF(<expC1>,<expC2>)

Description

The INDEXOF() function returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of the specified character string, <expC2>, in another character string, <expC1>.

A case-sensitive search is performed. Character positions start from 1, if the string <expC2> is not found, INDEXOF() returns 0.

Parameters Description
<expC1> The character string to be searched.
<expC2> The character string to search for.

Example

open database southwind
use orders
list for indexof(customerid,"AT") = 3
