Remarks

FIND(text_to_find, text_to_search, starting_point)

Text_to_find is the piece of text you want to find. It can be a reference (for example, a NamedReference to a constant text string or a CalcSettings reference to a TextBox on the form). It should be shorter in length than the text_to_search.

Text_to_search is the piece of text you want to search for text_to_find within. It's commonly a reference to a text string that you want to search.

Starting_point is the one-based character position inside of text_to_search at which UltraCalc will begin searching. This argument is optional and if omitted, the search will begin at the first character.

If text_to_find is not found this function returns a Value error, otherwise it returns the starting position of text_to_find within text_to_search.
