<overview>Use the <b>codepointOffset</b> function to find which codepoint a string occurs in.</overview>

<parameters>

<parameter>

<name>stringToFind</name>

<description>The stringToFind is a string or an expression that evaluates to a string.</description>

</parameter>

<parameter>

<name>stringToSearch</name>

<description>The stringToSearch is a string or an expression that evaluates to a string.</description>

</parameter>

<parameter>

<name>codepointsToSkip</name>

<description>The codepointsToSkip is a non-negative integer. If you don't specify how many codepointsToSkip, the codepointOffset function does not skip any codepoints.</description>

</parameter> </parameters>

<value>The <b>codepointOffset</b> function returns a non-negative integer.</value>

<comments><p>The value returned by the <b>codepointOffset</b> function is the number of the codepoint where the <i>stringToFind</i> appears in <i>stringToSearch</i>. If the <i>stringToFind</i> is not in <i>stringToSearch</i>, the <b>codepointOffset</b> function returns zero. If the <i>stringToFind</i> is more than one codepoint, the <b>codepointOffset</b> function always returns zero, even if the <i>stringToFind</i> appears in the <i>stringToSearch</i>.</p><p></p><p>If you specify how many <i>codepointsToSkip</i>, the <b>codepointOffset</b> function skips the specified number of sentences in the <i>stringToSearch</i>. The value returned is relative to this starting point instead of the beginning of the <i>stringToSearch</i>.</p></comments>
