Hello, It is not good practice to answer one's own message... but after some further trials, it seems that the integer required is the starting point for the search in the string: if 1, starts at 1st character, 2 starts at second, ecc... The function does not seem to give an error if the starting point is a value greater than the length of the string (the function just returns 0).
