Answer Posted / jothi sankar
INDEX is best one. Is for getting location of mentioned
data.
Eg:
str1 = 'Hi i am fine here. how are u there ? .....';
str2 = index(str1,'how'); --> str2 = 20
SCAN is to get a substring upto mentioned character
INDEXC to locate only for mentioned one or more single
character
