Usage

{{Str find|text|sub_string}} = Position of first appearance of sub_string in text.

Examples

In the examples, the string to be searched is <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">Abcdefghijklm</syntaxhighlight>:

• A; 1
• a; -1
• def; 4
• klm; 11
• zyx; -1
• empty;klm;-1
• empty;empty; 1

• Case sensitive.
• Returns -1 if sub_string not found
• Character position is 1 based (not 0 based as usual in calculations).
• Warning: if sub_string is empty, then this routine will return 1 !!! This case will often have to be handled specially.
