Hi, I wonder if anyone can help?
How do I see if one string is found within another string?
or how many instances of one string, is found within another.
ie.
a="Sheree smells of poo"
b="smells"
I'd like a function that would return 1, (for true, or that the word
smells, if found once)
PHP is ace. There must be a simple way of doing this. I mean, its got
loads of useless functions that noones ever going to use. Im sure if
PHP has a built-in function to convert hebrew, then Im sure it can do
this. Any ideas?
Cheers
Phil.

I noticed that Message-ID:
<5D************ ***@newssvr19.n ews.prodigy.com > from Carl contained the
following: a="Sheree smells of poo"
b="smells"
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php
But be careful of the comparison you do. If the search string is at the
beginning strpos will return 0, naturally. You want anything other than
false so you need to do !==false as the comparison.

Can you do a search for more that one string in another string?
Something like:
someString.IndexOf("something1","something2","something3",0)
or would you have to do something like:
if ((someString.IndexOf("something1",0) >= 0) ||
((someString.IndexOf("something2",0) >= 0) ||

Is there such a thing as a CONTAINS for a string variable in VB.NET? For
instance, I want to do something like the following:
If strTest Contains ("A","B", "C") Then
Debug.WriteLine("Found characters")
Else
Debug.WriteLine("Did NOT find characters!")
End If

ANSI-89 v ANSI-92
Before we get into all the various types of pattern matching that can be used, there are two ANSI standards used for the main types of wildcard matching (matching zero or more characters or simply matching a single character) :

In the later versions of Access it is now possible to select ANSI-92 compatibility as an...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
