Syntax

Checking if a string contains a substring Hide the details

<Result> = Contains(<String to analyze> , <Substring> [, <Options>])
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if the string contains a substring.
  • False otherwise.
<String to analyze>: Ansi, Unicode or Binary string
Character string to use.
<Substring>: Ansi, Unicode or Binary string
Search substring.
<Options>: Integer constant
Method to search for the substring:
IgnoreCaseCase and accent insensitive search (ignores uppercase/lowercase differences).
WholeWordSearches for a whole word (between punctuation characters or spaces).

By default, the search is case-sensitive and takes into account all specified strings (even if they are part of a word).
