Notes
|
This is a basic text parsing command that will find a value in a block of text. If the value is not found, "storagevar" will be set to "0".
Note that this command is not word specific - you can cut out parts of words or even spaces with it. ANY value within the block of text that matches the value searched for will be found. If there are several matches, only the first one will be returned.

Example
|
setVar $line "This is a line of text"
getWordPos $line $pos "line"
# displays: 11
echo $pos
