Purpose
Function to search for a substring
Syntax
AT(<expC1>, <expC2> | <memofield> [,<expN>])
See Also
ATNEXT(), INLIST(), LEFT(), OCCURS(), RAT(), RIGHT(), SET STRESCAPE, STR(), STREXTRACT(), STRPOS(), STRTRAN(), STUFF(), SUBSTR()
Description
AT() is the substring search function. It returns a number signifying the starting position of <expC1> in <expC2> or in the specified memo field. If the substring is not contained within <expC2> or <memofield>, then the function returns the value 0. The leftmost character of a string is in character position 1. The AT() function will return the starting position of the Nth occurrence of <expC1> when the optional numeric expression <expN> is specified. The AT() function is particularly useful in conjunction with the LEFT() or SUBSTR() functions for locating starting points for extracting text from a string.
Example
? at("is", "Recital is good") 9 cString1 = "is" cString2 = "Recital is good" ? at(cString1, cString2) 9
Products
Recital Server, Recital
