Dear list readers, the command find() takes two parameters, start and end, e.g.:
find(substring[, start[, end]]). Here, a substring is located UP TO BUT NOT INCLUDING the optional parameter 'end'. Compare this to replace(). replace() comes with the count argument, e.g.: replace(old, new[, count]) But here the substring is replaced UP TO AND INCLUDING to the optional argument count. My question is how I am best to make sense of this discrepancy. Is there any logic behind this that might make my life easier once I become aware of it? I know of the indexing rules, but this here is obviously not the same. I am curious...
