$findw(<word> <wordlist>)

This function searches <wordlist> for <word> and returns the place it was found. If <word> isn't in <wordlist>, -1 is returned.

This function should put many scripters to ease, as it has been written into many scripts :)

index to <word> in <wordlist>

$findw(very epic is a very scriptable client)         /* returns 3 */

assign test blah hmm foo bar
eval echo $word($findw(hmm $test) $test)              /* returns "hmm" */
