PureBasic Forums - English

On my environment with version 5.61 (x86) FindString seems to ignore the NoCase-option.

Example:

Debug FindString("test PureBasic test", "purebasic", #PB_String_NoCase)
Debug FindString("test PureBasic test", "PureBasic", #PB_String_NoCase)

Should lead to:
6
6

But leads to:
0
6

Please verify (for newer versions).

you forgot the parameter "StartPosition"

FindString(String$, StringToFind$, StartPosition, Flags)

in your case it must be written like...

FindString("test PureBasic test", "purebasic", 1, #PB_String_NoCase)

Arghhh! I knew that I must have messed it up somewhere - totally forgot about the position!
Shame on me

You are not the first who forgot this parameter.

The Classic one :

A$ = PeekS(*Memory, #PB_UTF8)

Haha, my classic fail is forgetting 1 of these?
UsePNGImageDecoder()
UsePNGImageEncoder()

My classic fail is forgetting the LHS variable in string operations. I.E. writing only

ReplaceString (xyz$, a$, b$)

Interesting how this thread evolved

But now it should be moved to an other forum. It is obviously no bug.

Just happened to me too that NoCase "didn't work", and i thought.. wasn't there a bug report lately?
