Name: codepointOffset

Type: function

Syntax: codepointOffset(<stringToFind>, <stringToSearch> [, <codepointsToSkip>])

Summary: Returns the number of codepoints between the beginning of a value and an occurrence of a specified string.

Introduced: 7.0

OS: mac,windows,linux,ios,android

Platforms: desktop,server,web,mobile

Example:

codepointOffset(tCodePoint,"This is the string to search")

Parameters:

stringToFind (string):

stringToSearch (string):

codepointsToSkip: The codepointsToSkip is a non-negative integer. If you don't specify how many codepointsToSkip, the codepointOffset function does not skip any codepoints.

Returns: The <codepointOffset> function returns a non-negative integer.

Description:

Use the <codepointOffset> function to find which codepoint a string occurs in.

The value returned by the <codepointOffset> function is the number of the codepoint where the <stringToFind> appears in <stringToSearch>. If the <stringToFind> is not in <stringToSearch>, the <codepointOffset> function returns zero. If the <stringToFind> is more than one codepoint, the <codepointOffset> function always returns zero, even if the <stringToFind> appears in the <stringToSearch>.

If you specify how many <codepointsToSkip>, the <codepointOffset> function skips the specified number of sentences in the <stringToSearch>. The value returned is relative to this starting point instead of the beginning of the <stringToSearch>.
