Hello,

is there some sort of instr function to determin where in a string a specific character or text is?

i mean this

set %xpos = instr($1,"test")
/msg $me $right($1,$len($1)-xpos)

to give " string" where the inpunt was "this is a test string"

i think u meant $pos
//echo -a $pos(this is a test string,string)
will return the position of "string" in the text which is 16

thanks, that's what I was after

any idea how you can use a double quote inthere?

$left($1-,$calc($pos($1-, " text,1)))
