- index STR,SUBSTR
- The index function searches for one string within another, but without the wildcard-like
behavior of a full regular-expression pattern match. It returns the position of the first
occurrence of SUBSTR in STR at or after POSITION. If POSITION is omitted, starts searching
from the beginning of the string. The return value is based at
0 (or whatever
you've set the $[ variable to--but don't do that). If the substring is not
found, returns one less than the base, ordinarily -1.
