Syntax
target.strlib.InStr( input, look_for, length, s_pos )
look_for (input) - This is a regular expression
length integer (output) - The length of the sub-string found
s_pos integer (optional, in/out) - search from position (default is 0)
Return value

The starting position of the found sub-string
Sample
'---------- Start ----------
Function Start
Dim str, str2
str = "The Lot Number is 177592 "
str2 = target.strlib.InStr( str, "\d\d" )
trg.Message( str2 )
End Function
In this case InStr searches for something that matches the regular expression mask and gives us its starting position.
