To answer my own question ;-) here is the proposed help doc changes.
Description
FindPart searches the string InputStr and returns an integer, which is the
first position
of a string matched. The HelpWilds constant is a string which can contain Help
Wilds.
If no match is found, the integer 0 is returned. Valid Help Wilds are the
"?" (question mark) and "*" (asterisk) characters.
Notes: The positioning starts at 1, not 0.
0 indicates no match found, and 1 indicates the first position.
This is because the creators of freepascal are not mathematecians.
(ok omit this one).
Example program:
program Project1;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses
Classes,
sysutils,
strutils;
begin
writeln('Hello, where is "is" in "thisisatest"?');
readln;
{should return 3...}
writeln('It is at position: '+inttostr(FindPart('is','thisisatest')));
readln;
{should return 0...}
writeln('inttostr(FindPart('ZZZXXX','thisisatest')));
readln;
end.
The program should return the integer "3" due to the fact that the first
instance of "is" happens to be in the 3rd position in "thisisatest".
