Question

I seem to be missing basic string operations in Google script.

How can I search for stringA in stringB ?

I’m searching the Description field, in an array of files (doclist.find) for specific keywords.

Maybe there is another way of doing this, I’ve tried to use regexp or underscoregs._find but hav’nt made it work.

Thank you

Have you tried

var index = stringB.indexOf(stringA);

It returns -1 if stringA is not found and the position of stringA within stringB if found.
For all String operations, the JavaScript specification holds good.
