A long indicating the position in bytes where the search will begin in string. The default is 1. |
Long. Returns a long whose value is the starting position of the first occurrence of string2 in string1 after the position in bytes specified in start. If string2 is not found in string1 or if start is not within string1, PosA returns 0.
