Find String

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

For example, searching for the three-character sequence 'xyz' in a string 1234xyzAGSW, returns an offset value of 5.
