Hi All,

I am using the .search function.
python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. strValue="XXX"
  2. strTemp1="YYYXXX"
  3. strTemp= strTemp1.search(strValue)
Python is not able to recognise the .search function.
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'search'

What should I import for this?
Please help!

If you want to just find out if one string is contained inside another:
python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  strvalue1 in strvalue2

If you want to find out how many occurrences of one string there are in another:
python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. num = strvalue.count(strvalue2)

If you want to find the index of the first occurrence of one string in another:
python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. ind = strvalue1.find(strvalue2)
