VBScript - How do I preform an operation if a part of a string is included in a longer string
I'm writing a script in VBScript and I'm writing an If/Then statment which needs to do the following:
Lets say Variable1 = "OU=sales,OU=mydomain,OU=C
How do I write an If/Then statment to effectively say: "IF Variable1 contains the word "sales" THEN...
FYI, I want my script to run on all users in an OU except those in the Sales OU.
Thanks

>> it's always better to have a split before compare it with the instr function..
sorry, i use a split, follow by a direct string compare, no use instr function on my example above. cheers

understandable if there is a chance the string could contain something like:
searchfor="he"
searchstr="OU=the,OU=hello
something like this will match "he" with instr since "the" contains he and "hello" contains he
whereas ryancys's method will return false

searchstr="OU=the,OU=hello

wow ... i guess i didn't actually look at your example very well ... i see thats what you did in your example =)
v1="inside"
v2="Check to see if inside this string"
If InStr(v2,v1)=0 Then
MsgBox "Does not exist"
Else
Msgbox "Exists"
End If
