what are you reying to do? check if the substring is there or extract it?

in jscript:

strTest="hairy old bollocks";
strFind="old"

strPosition=strTest.indexOf(strFind) //returns -1 if string not present,
position otherwise

if (strPosition>-1){
strNewString=strTest.substr(strPosition, strFind.length-1);
//javascript1.2, IIS4+
strNewString2=strTest.substring(strPosition, strPosition+3);
//javascript1.0. (and i think IIS3+) - first value included in substring,
final one isnt
/* strFind will return length of strFind, you knock 1 off since arrays
start at 0, so 'o'=0, 'l'=1, 'd'=2.
*/

}

so to check if the substring is present make sure the return is greater
than -1, to get the substring get its index and its length and use substr.
