Dear Friends:

I am currently converting a program from BASIC to BASIC09. The Basic program
contains the line

C=INSTR(A$,CHR$(27)+")s")

A$ is 100 bytes of a font file. CHR$(27) or $1B is a control/escape code. ANd
")s" does something or other. (How's that for accurate terminology?)

I know that under COCO BASIC, the command would search a string, and then
return the location of the target string in a search string. For example:

INSTR(position,search-string,target)

I cannot find an exact command for INSTR under BASIC09. Pg 11-164 of the Level
II guide gives an example of a command called SUBSTR. I am not sure if this
will do what I need.

Any suggestions?

With all best wishes,

Br. Jeremy, CSJW
