FINDB (txt,txtst,n)


FINDB (FindText,WithinText,StartNumber)

  • is the text you want to find.
  • is the text or string that contains the text you want to find.
  • is the number to start the search.
    • FINDB() Finds one text value within another (case-sensitive).FINDB is intended for use with languages that use the double-byte character set (DBCS).


Description

FINDB (FindText,WithinText,StartNumber)

  • E.g. FINDB("U","FUNCTION",1) returns 2
  • FINDB searches the text inside another string and returns the starting position of the text inside the string.
  • FINDB is used with languages that use the double-byte character set (DBCS).
  • The default language of your computer will result in the return value
  • FINDB counts double-byte character as 2.
  • FIND and FINDB are case sensitive. It won't allow wildcard characters.
  • If is "" (NULL), FINDB matches with the first character in the search string.
  • If is not there in , Calci returns #ERROR message.
  • By default is assumed to be 1 and is optional.
  • should be an integer >gt; 0.
  • If is greater than the length of , Calci returns #ERROR message.

Examples

JOHN SMITH

=FINDB("T", A1) : Returns 9 as output.
=FINDB("word", A2,5) : Returns 5 as output.

Need to give examples with characters/language supporting DBCS
