Instr(). Please help

The first Pos is supposed to be 7, but I always get 4. Why? StartingPOS seems not working.

Code: Select all

Txt := "123.123456"
Pos := InStr(Txt, "." , false , -1)
msgbox %Pos%  ; returns 4

Pos := InStr(Txt, "." , false , 1)
msgbox %Pos%  ; returns 4 too.

StartingPos reflects the number of places to ignore.

Regardless of the value of StartingPos, the return value is always relative to the first character of Haystack.

Hi mikeyww,

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I didn't understand it correctly.
