Two new flags implmeneted in INSTR:
Flag |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
INSTRF_ANY |
&h01000000 |
Treat pattern as set of characters; match first one that appears in subject. |
INSTRF_ANYQT |
&h02000000 |
Same as INSTRF_ANY but ignores characters in subject between matching quotes. |
Note that unlike all of the other INSTR() flags, these do not actually use the REGEX library. They are instead based on the standard C function strpbrk(). For example:
PRINT INSTR(1, "DSK0:ABC.RUN /X", ";/ ", INSTRF_ANY)
Of the three characters in the pattern (";/ "), the first to occur in the subject is the space at position 13.
The above is equivalent to the REGEX character set pattern "[;/ ]"; it simply eliminates any doubts about REGEX syntax for special characters. But the INSTRF_ANYQT version is much harder to implement using REGEX.
