Match
Description Determines whether a string’s value contains a particular pattern of characters.
Syntax Match ( string, textpattern )
Return value
Boolean. Returns true if string matches textpattern and false if it does not.
Match also returns false if either argument has not been assigned a value or the
pattern is invalid.
Usage Match enables you to evaluate whether a string contains a general pattern of
characters. To find out whether a string contains a specific substring, use the
Pos function.
Textpattern is similar to a regular expression. It consists of metacharacters,
which have special meaning, and ordinary characters, which match
themselves. You can specify that the string begin or end with one or more
characters from a set, or that it contain any characters except those in a set.
A text pattern consists of metacharacters, which have special meaning in the
match string, and nonmetacharacters, which match the characters themselves.
Argument Description
string The string you want to convert to lowercase letters
Argument Description
string The string in which you want to look for a pattern of characters
