A textual comparison starting at position 4. Returns 6.
MyPos = Instr(4, SearchString, SearchChar, 1)
' A binary comparison starting at position 1. Returns 9.
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, SearchChar, 0)
' Comparison is binary by default (last argument is omitted).
MyPos = Instr(SearchStr ing, SearchChar) ' Returns 9.
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, "W") ' Returns 0.
Can anyone tell me how this is returning 6 and 9.

Hi
When you use instr in textual comparison with a 1 as the last argument, it is not case sensitive so it will find upper or lowercase matches, the binary compare will only find the same case as the search character.
so in textual comparison looking for 'P' it will find both 'p' and 'P'
in binary comparison it will only find 'P'

I have a field name "tracks" of string data type that has multiple names
in it (for example: calder delaware$ aqueduct ), and I want to check to
see if this certain field has "delaware$" in it. InStr or the Mid
functions return the numerical order of where that string starts inside
the string, but it doesnt tell me if "delaware$" exists in "tracks".

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)

Scenario:
From a given folder all files from all subdirs are read. These are

Once everything is in my array it is sorted and dropped in a listbox.
In a textbox I can enter a search criteria. Each time I press a key
the listbox is cleared and I run this code (at this point the listbox
