string

[Rakiayn]

is it possible to check if a string contains a certain part?

example
the string = ''blueredpurple''
i want to see if the string contains ''red''

Code: Select all

if (InStr(someStr, "red") != -1)

^ What anth said.

I must note however that the code above only makes case-sensitive matches, so it matches "red" but it does not match "RED" for example.
If you want to make it case-insensitive:

Code: Select all

if (InStr(Caps(someStr), Caps("red")) != -1)

thnx guys
if i want to see if a certain part is not in the string, I replace the != with ==?
