<cfset MyString="This is a case-sensitive example of using the Find function to 
find a substring within a string.">
<cfset MySubString="find">
   
<cfoutput>
<b>String:</b> #MyString#<br>
<b>Substring:</b> #MySubstring#
<p>The first occurrence of <b>#MySubstring#</b> is at position 
#Find(MySubstring, MyString)#.
