Re: Is there a way to use the strpos() for next string...

Yea, plan to file a bug to include an example. As soon as the strpos() script work then I'll go ahead. Right now, mine doesn't work correctly with the 3rd and 4th line of code, so I'm trying to figure out why. :-) Scott "Mike Ford" <M.Ford@lmu.ac.uk> wrote in message news:841D90E489448A4F804E1D1B95768BF7D462B5@lis-exchange3.lmu.ac.uk... > On 20 November 2003 20:39, Scott Fletcher wrote: > > > Yea, the manual is clear but honestly, don't know what the offset > > really meant since there is no definition or explaination of how the > > offset work. > > Well, I really don't know how much clearer the sentence that says "The optional offset parameter allows you to specify which character in haystack to start searching" can be -- if you can suggest some better wording, that would have worked for you, then maybe one of us can add a user note to the manual and/or a documentation bug requesting an enhancement. And, notwithstanding the clarity of the description, I agree it would be useful to have another example showing the use of the 3rd argument, so that could be done in the same way. > > Cheers! > > Mike > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Mike Ford, Electronic Information Services Adviser, > Learning Support Services, Learning & Information Services, > JG125, James Graham Building, Leeds Metropolitan University, > Beckett Park, LEEDS, LS6 3QS, United Kingdom > Email: m.ford@leedsmet.ac.uk > Tel: +44 113 283 2600 extn 4730 Fax: +44 113 283 3211
