problem with simple string search

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I am having a difficulty with what seems to me as a simple string search...

My problem starts here:
L:="cálculo"; # this is the string

And this is the search I am trying to do:
searchtext("á",L);

For which I am getting the result "0" (without quotes).

I think it should be "2".

So I did this, just to check what I really have in the string L:
searchtext("Ã",L);
searchtext("¡",L);

And the results are respectively "2" and "3".

So it seems it is finding the individual characters but not both together... 

For me this seems really strange...!

CONTEXT: I am trying to write some simple routine to substitute "á" for "á", for example, according to a table of similar substitutions.

I am having the same problem with all these "composite characters" - like "ç","õ","³","ê","ã","é","á", etc.

Does any gentleman or lady here understands and is willing to help me with this problem that is blocking this work?

Thank you in advance for all your kind attention !

Mahesh
