NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference
Name:
searchif - check wether a substring is contained within a string
Synopsis:
string1 string2 searchif -> bool
array1 array2 searchif -> bool
Examples:
(Hello world!) (Hello) searchif -> true
[1 3 2 5 2] [3 2] searchif -> true
Description:
calls search and removes the substrings/-arrays generated
thereby. Neither string/array will be conserved (!),
bool contains success or failure.
Parameters:
string1/array1: The object where to search into.

bool is true on success, otherwise false
Bugs:
Does not have optimal performance; search creates subobjects
which are not needed for serachif.
