How do I check if string contains text

Hello !

Maybe I did not searched with the proper words, but I cannot find a way to check if a string contains some text.

For example I would like an event like this one:

variable1 = "sometext"

if variable1 contains "text" return true.

Is this possible ?

From the manual:

https://www.scirra.com/manual/126/system-expressions

find(src, text)

Find the first index within src that text occurs, else returns -1.

so system compare two values : find(variable1, "text") is not -1

if the variable contains the text this condition will be true...

or........

Thank you littleStin tha'ts perfect !

I was looking in regex, but this was in fact much simplier.

Korbaach, that's interesting. This is much more complex, but it reveals some interesting tricks, thank you.

Can u upload that again please?

Thanks

see the second comment in this post.

Use "System->Compare two values"

first value: Find(text1, text2)

comparison: Not equal to

second value: -1

find works in the latest version of C2?

I did several tests and it seems that everything simply returns -1, whether or not the correct word exists

It should work, you are doing something wrong.

Probably. How can I use it the right way.

I have never used this feature.
