MEMBER()

FUNCTION: member(<list>, <word>[, <delim>])

Member takes a list and a word, and returns the position of that word within the list. If the word does not occur in the list, then 0 is returned. Unlike match(), member() does not check for wildcard-ing, and the cases of <list> and <word> are significant. A word is defined as a string which has no interior spaces. So 'hello' would be one word, while 'hello there' would be two.

<delim> may be used to specify a delimiter other than a space.

Example: > say member(This is a member test, member) You say, "4" > say member(This is a member test, Member) You say, "0" > say member(This is a member test, e) You say, "0" > say member(This is a member test, is a) You say, "0"
