Folks, Perhaps I missed it in the docs, but I didn't see where it
said the char count returned by offset was measured from the skipped
chars count. I do skim, so could have easily missed the fine print.
It's in the last paragraph in the "offset" entry:
"If you specify how many charsToSkip, the offset function skips the
specified number of characters in the stringToSearch. The value returned
is relative to this starting point instead of the beginning of the
stringToSearch."
One of the syntax examples shows it, though it would be easy to miss if
you weren't looking for it:
offset("b","abacadabra",2) -- returns 6
