SQR instr()



Hi Guys,

I need same functionality as INSTR() function,
BUT with one more added functionality which can give
me a position for a sub_value from end of the source_value.

Say for eg: $source = 'Today M is M Friday.'
I want instr() to give me a position of 'M' just before 'Friday'.

Is there any simple solution. I tried giving negative offset
thinking it will start searching from end. No luck.

I can achive doing some more coding. Is there any real
easy solution, which can save me extra coding.


FROM MANUAL:
INSTR
Returns the numeric position of sub_value in source_value or zero (0) if not
found.  The search begins at offset offset_value.  This function returns a
float value.

Syntax: dst_var =       instr(source_value, sub_value, offset_value)


Thanks in advance,
Manoj
