=== Usage ===<br />
<nowiki>{{Str find|</nowiki>''text''|''sub_string''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> = Position of first appearance of ''sub_string'' in ''text''.<br />
<br />
===Examples===<br />
In the examples, the string to be searched is "Abcdefghijklm":<br />
* A; {{str find|Abcdefghijklm|A}}<br />
* a; {{str find|Abcdefghijklm|a}}<br />
* def; {{str find|Abcdefghijklm|def}}<br />
* klm; {{str find|Abcdefghijklm|klm}}<br />
* zyx; {{str find|Abcdefghijklm|zyx}}<br />
* empty;klm;{{str find||klm}}<br />
* empty;empty; {{str find||}}<br />
<br />
<br />
* Case sensitive.<br />
* Returns -1 if ''sub_string'' not found<br />
* Character position is 1 based (not 0 based as usual in calculations).<br />
* '''Warning''': if ''sub_string'' is empty, then this routine will return 1 !!! This case will often have to be handled specially.<br />
