Use the FindString command. If it returns 0, the string inside the string
wasn't found. Anything other than 0 is the X position of the found string.
There is no Y position because strings are one-dimensional, unless you
use two-dimensional strings but then that requires a bit more work.

PureBasic strings are only one dimensional. You can't get the text from an
EditorGadget in two dimensions, unless you store it in two different strings.

if your string is formated like "10,5" then use
Code: Select all
X=StringField(String.s,1,",")
Y=StringField(String.s,2,",")
