hey all,
i'm getting a result that i don't understand
i have a string "test1, test2"
If InStr("test1") and InStr("test2") Then
'Inside
EndIf
The inside is not running for some reason. Any ideas?

Yes. You are not using the wrong syntax for Instr.
I surprised this even compiles.

I bet it doesn't...
Try this:
If InStr("test1")> =0 and InStr("test2")> =0 Then
Also, to add efficiency you should use AndAlso instead of And.

The first reason is that the code will not compile at all. The InStr
function requires two parameters.
Furthermore, the InStr function returns an integer, not a boolean. If
you use the and operator between two integers, it will perform a binary
and between the operators. With your example, the first InStr returns
the value 1 and the second returns the value 8. The binary and operation
between 1 and 8 gives the value 0. That is then converted to the boolean
value False when it's used in the If statement.

what exactly are you wanting to do?
Using InStr, you can look for the position of the first occurance of a
string within another, starting at a certain position within the string.
dim strLookFor as string="test"
If (InStr(1, "test1", strLookFor)+InS tr(1, "test2", strLookFor))>0 Then
'Inside
EndIf
BTW - instead of InStr, you may as well use the IndexOf-function which is a
member of system.string. IOW, if you are checking a string-variable, use
strYourString.I ndexOf(...).
Guess it'd be better if you explained what exactly you're looking for.
Cheers,
Olaf

! um, yes, that's what I meant...
My apologies to everyone i should have state that i was not strict on syntax
and i was focused more on the concept of this:
I thought, 0 meant false and >0 meant true without having to be explicit.
If I'm explicit like you, it works:
If InStr("test1")> =0 and InStr("test2")> =0 Then

I am trying to convert a complex function from Oracle to SQL Server
and have come across Oracle's Instr() function. I see SQL Server has
CHARINDEX() which is similar, however it does not provide some key
functionality I need. Here is an example of the Oracle code:
if Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 3 ) > 0 then
sd := SubStr( sTg, Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 1 ) + 1, Instr( sTg,
cDelim, 1, 2 ) - Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 1 ) - 1)
