]]> Comment on VBA: Find Text in a String (instr) by David http://www.automateexcel.com/2004/08/14/excel_vba_find_text_in_a_string_instr/comment-page-1/#comment-1272 David Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:31:22 +0000 #comment-1272 How come two corrections to the example were noted (years old) and no change was made to the page? In one case, the description of the function in question was plain wrong (# of time found vs. position within string), and within the other, it noted that the extended example wasn't needed since the function already did the desired test if you simply used an optional parameter. Is no one actually reading the reader responses? How come two corrections to the example were noted (years old) and no change was made to the page?
