Description
The CONTAINS() function returns .T. (True) if the current record contains the specified character string, <expC>.
A case-insensitive search is performed on the current record's character fields. If the optional <expL> is .T. (True) or the optional <expN> is 1, memo fields are also checked, otherwise they are excluded from the search.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| <expC> | The character string to search for. |
| <expL> | If .T. (True), memos are included in the search. |
| <expN> | If 1, memos are included in the search. |
The CONTAINS() function is particularly useful in creating indexes built on
Example
open database southwind use customers // Restrict index to records with a character field containing string "USA", memos excluded index on lower(companyname) for contains("USA",.F.)
