      [<nSkipChars>] ) --> nCount

Arguments

<cSearch>

This is a character string to search for in <cString>.

<cString>

<nSkipChars>

This numeric parameter defaults to 0 so that the function begins searching with the first character of <cString>. Passing a value > 0 instructs the function to ignore the first <nSkipChars> characters in the search.
