IFSUBSTR        Branch to label if a substring found in a master string

 Top  Previous  Next

Syntax:

IFSUBSTR

[ string ]  [ substring ]  GOTO  [ label ]

Alt Syntax:

IFSUBSTRI

[ string ]  [ substring ]  GOTO  [ label ]

Arguments:

[ string ]

Variable or string defining master string.

 

[ substring ]

Variable or string defining substring to find.

 

[ label ]

A valid label within the current script file which is branched to if the substring is contained within the master string.

Options:

none

 

 

 

This script command attempts to locate a substring with a specified master string and branches to [ label ] if it is found.

 

Use the alternate IFSUBSTRI command to perform the same comparison but to ignore case during the comparison.

 

Consider the following simple example that results in a branch to the specified label.

 

SET master_string = "abcdefg"

SET substring = "cde"

IFSUBSTR master_string substring GOTO substring_found

 

 

Note: The functionality of IFSUBSTR and IFSUBSTRI were erroneously reversed in previously releases of Robo-FTP but their current operation is as described in this document.
