String2 can consist one or several characters. The search is not case-sensitive. Upper and lower-case lettering is not taken into account.

This script function returns the first position on which String 2 was found as a value. The position is then counted from the beginning of String1.

In the following example, a string is searched. It is found at position 8.

:SET &POS#=STR_FIND_REV("AE#01, AE#02","AE")
:PRINT &POS#
