Visual Basic

Public Function Find( _
   ByVal SubString As String, _
   Optional ByRef StartAfter As Variant _
) As String

Parameters

SubString: The substring to match. Matching starts with the first character.
StartAfter: Optional. Defaults to 0. On input, it contains the index in the collection after which to start the search. On return, it is updated to the index of the string returned by Find. If no string is found, StartAfter is set to 0.

Remarks

When specifying StartAfter, use an index between 0 and one less than the collection's Count property. Specifying a value of 0 (the default) starts with the first string in the collection.
