I don't think there's an inStr function in FoxPro... although it's 99.9% likly that I'm mistaken.

If there's not, is there a substitute function that I can use to do something like this:

myString = "kdjfkjsf hjhuei oioiuwquiod john uhehjkdf hasjhdkh"
:now I need something to detect the "john" in the string and return it and everything to the right of it including itself:

myString = "john uhehjkdf hasjhdkh"

Then I need a function to be able to cut the stuff off the string from the right.

Are there Right() and Left() functions like in VB?

Thanks!
