ASCII Instructions 20-25
ASC - String Search
Instruction Type: output
Use the ASC instruction to search an existing string for an occurrence of
the source string. This instruction executes on a true rung.
Entering Parameters
Enter the following parameters when programming this instruction:
•
Source is the address of the string you want to find.
•
Index is the starting position (from 1 to 82) within the search string.
(An index of 1 indicates the left-most character of the string.)
•
Search is the address of the string you want to examine.
•
Result is the location (from 1 to 82) that the controller uses to store
the position in the Search string where the Source string begins. If no
match is found, result is set equal to zero.
