Test to see if text is in column 1

[Jeff Barnes]

I have a text string that I grab from a Memo field.
What I need to do is find out if certain text in that string is located in the first column of whatever line it may appear in.

Example of the text:

>>
Hello, this is a TEST.
This is another line.
TEST again.
Some other text in the string.
<<

In this case, the word TEST shows up twice. I need to somehow be able to know if TEST starts at column 1.

Jeff:

Perhaps the AT() function can helps.

Sample

Code: Select all  Expand view

       nAtRE    := AT("&RE=",oWrk:TXT)

Jeff,

Something like this:

Code: Select all  Expand view

FOR i = 1 TO MLCOUNT( cMemo )
    cLine = MEMOLINE( cMemo, , i )

    IF cLine = cTxt
        // Found!
    ENDIF
NEXT
