>>>I tried this both with Visual FoxPro 6 and Visual FoxPro 9, and it works as expected, returning 1. I assume you add a question mark to the left of at(ly,lx) - I added it.
>>>
>>>Additional considerations:
>>>
at() is case-sensitive. You can use atc() instead, if you want to find text in any case.
>>>You may want to issue the command SET STEP ON right before you use the at() command, to check whether the variables really have the expected values.
>>>Also watch out for invisible characters, like spaces. Chec, in the debugger, whether len(ly) (in the example) corresponds to what you would expect from the visible part.
>>>I believe you didn't mention the version of Visual FoxPro, nor the service-pack you are using (if any). It is possible that some versions of Visual FoxPro have a flaw; but I consider this possibility remote in this case; at least, I didn't hear of version-specific problems for this particular command.
