Value :: searchString - Search string in property
The function searches for the text passed in sString in the text value. When no instance is selected in the value handle or the value is not a text property, the function throws an exception.
The start position begins with 0 at the beginning of the string area.
Implementation details
Searching starts in at character position passed in iStartPosition. Passing false in bCaseSensitive performs a case insensitive search. The function returns the character position (relative 0) of first occurrence of sString in the text. When the text could not be found, the function returns -1.
Depending on text encoding, the character position may differ from the byte position in the string.
