Synopsis
substring position
substring position
Reports the position of a substring within a target string. Character position values start at 1. Returns 0 if the substring isn't found. Formerly considered case and ignored diacriticals, which is backwards from AppleScript's own defaults; staring in Panther, this is fixed, and string considerations are obeyed (see "String Considerations" in Chapter 19).
