substring matching functions (need a hand please)

[Ciccio_Drink]

Hi all, I am a very new Excel macro functions user.

I was looking for a function able to check if a substring is or no
present in another string.

i.e. if the string "--------AB-------" contains the string "AB"

sorry for the newbie question and thx al

Hi Ciccio_Drink,

Look at the InStr function in VBA help:

'=============>>
Public Sub Tester001()
Dim sStr As String

sStr = " A horse, my Kingdom for a horse"

If InStr(1, sStr, "xhorse", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then _
MsgBox "substring found!"

End Sub
'<<=============

Hi Ciccio_Drink,

To see the message, replace "xhorse" with "horse"

I just found the answer

function InStr ( "String1", "String2" )
