how to find string in another string

supu

String1="San Diego"(got this values from gettext method)
String2="San Diego San Diego"

Ex:2
String1="CA"
String2="CA USA"
i want to find string1 is present in string2. i know i could solve this by using indexof and match. but i tried both of them, but could not get answer.Could any one, please resolve this.

var $InfoState=_getText(_cell(_table("formTable"),4,5));

var $leftNavState=_getText(_cell(_table(16),9,0));

var $result1=$InfoState.test($leftNavState);

_alert($result1);

Even i tried this also(using test regular expression). but could not get answer. But when i try the below code it's working fine. Please let me know where i am going wrong

var $str="Hello world";
var $patt=/Hello/g
var $result=$patt.test($str);
_alert($result);

Hi supu,

Try with the indexOf function in javascript. Iam able to execute the following script in tableTest demo page and able to get the index of the one string in another.

var $a=_getText(_cell(_table("t2"),1,2));
var $b=_getText(_cell(_table(3),2,2));
var $c=$b.indexOf($a);
_alert($c);

This popup with the index(1) of occurance of one string in another string.

This might help you.

Regards,
Theeran.
