Hello everybody.

Let's say I have a string "todayisMonday"
And I wanted to know if that string contained a word - "Monday"
In DBPro, I would use the command FIND SUB STRING$(source, string) to find out if "todayisMonday" contained the word "Monday". It will return 1 if "monday" exists in "todayisMonday"

Quote: "FIND SUB STRING$("todayisMonday", "Monday")"


But how do I do this is AppGameKit?

I see, thanks.

Funny that the command is not in the 'Text' section

Text is about manipulating visible representations of text.
It is in the core functions, which deals with manipulation of data, including string data.

It's a subtle but important difference
(and I have been caught out with this too!)
