Declaration:

function Pos(Str, Source : string): integer;

Description:

Returns an integer specifying the position of the first occurrence of one string within another.

Pos looks for the first complete occurence of Str in Source. If it finds one, it returns the character position in Source of the first character in Str as an integer value, otherwise it returns 0.

Example:

var s : string;
    i : integer;
	
s:='DELPHI PROGRAMMING';
i:=Pos('HI PR',s);
//i=5;
