There exists user-created functions that return the position in one
string of the first character found in a supplied set of characters.
(I first saw Doug Lee do this, and I snagged the idea from him to use
it privately in my own code, so I know at least two of these kinds of
functions are floating around. GRIN.)
I've also written a subString variant that extracts until the first
character from a supplied set is reached, complete with flags to test
for things like digits, upper/lower case letters, punctuation, and
white space characters. So, in your example, you might call something
like:
subStringTil("Menu:only available in To DVD mode", 1, ":", 0)
"Menu" would be returned.
If anyone wants, I'll be glad to track down the dependant functions
and tidy everything into a module.
HTH,
Jim
