KINDEXC(source,excerpt-1<,...

-
source
-
specifies the character expression to search.
-
excerpt
-
specifies the characters to search for in
the character expression.
| Tip: |
If you specify more than
one excerpt, separate them with a comma. |
The KINDEXC function searches source, from left to right, for the first occurrence of any
character present in the excerpts and returns the position in source of that character. If none of the characters in excerpt-1 through
excerpt-n in source are found, KINDEXC returns a value of 0.
The KINDEXC function searches for the
first occurrence of any individual character that is present within the character
string, whereas the KINDEX function searches for the first occurrence of the
character string as a pattern.
