Help returning FALSE rather then an error when using FIND function

Hi,

I’m wondering if anyone knows a way to return FALSE or TRUE rather than just TRUE when using a find function. The function returns a ‘not found’ error and I can’t for the life of me find a workaround.

I have attached an example model and would appreciate any help or enlightenment!

To avoid the error always add the item you want to find at the end of the string

ast = “ZZZ”
find(“T”,ast,1) will be an error
find(“T”, ast & “T”,1) returns 4, which is > greater than len(ast) so use this to figure your code
