Find String

 

Searches for a sequence of characters in a string variable and branches accordingly.

 

If found, the position of the first character of the located sequence (offset) is stored for use in other string manipulation action cells.

The offset is zero-based. For example, searching for the three-character sequence 'xyz' in a string 1234xyzAGSW, returns an offset value of 4.

Note: for more advanced searches, consider using the Regex Match action cell.
