num-var = Get_Find_First_Len


Operands:

none



Returns:


Returns the length of the data string found by the FIRST FIND / CHANGE search argument. Note that with Picture and RegEX search operands, this can be a different length than the actual entered argument. Until the first FIND / CHANGE command is issued for the current Edit file, this will return 0 (zero).


RC will always be 0 and Msg$ will be "" (Null)


Note:

The former function name Get_Find_Len may still be used for this function but has been deprecated and may be withdrawn in a future release.
