Syntax

Finding out whether a string contains a sub-string Hide the details

<Result>: Boolean

False otherwise.

<String to analyze>: Character string in Ansi, Unicode or Binary format (with quotes)

Character string to use.

<Sub-string>: Character string in Ansi, Unicode or Binary format (with quotes)

<Options>: Integer constant

Mode used to find the sub-string:
WholeWord Search for a whole word (enclosed in punctuation characters or in space characters).
IgnoreCase Search while ignoring the case (uppercase/lowercase characters) or the accented characters.
By default, the search is case sensitive and it searches for all the specified strings (even if they are part of a word).
