Answer 1

You can use the instr function to check the string.

Answer 2

Instr is good for quick fixes, if your strings are BIG or you need to use it often, you better convert the string to an array and then use a filter to find the value

So

 dim temp, aTemp temp="alpha,bravo,charlie" aTemp = split(temp,",") aFound = Filter(aTemp , "alpha") ' aFound (0) contains "alpha" or is an empty array if not found.
