Description | Use the sentenceOffset function to find which sentence a string occurs in. The value returned by the sentenceOffset function is the number of the sentence where the stringToFind first appears in stringToSearch. If the stringToFind is not in stringToSearch, the sentenceOffset function returns zero. If the stringToFind contains more than one sentence, the sentenceOffset function always returns zero, even if the stringToFind appears in the stringToSearch. If you specify how many sentencesToSkip, the sentenceOffset function skips the specified number of sentences in the stringToSearch. The value returned is relative to this starting point instead of the beginning of the stringToSearch. | ||||||||||||
