In a Python external method:
import re
def FindOneOf(to_find, search_str):
match_obj = re.search("[%s]" % to_find, search_str)
if match_obj:
return match_obj.start() + 1
else:
return 0
So, calling FindOneOf("ghd", "abcdefghij") returns 4. This will work as
is unless searching for a '-' (which will work ok as long as it is at the
start of to_find).
Not quite sure what the third argument 1 is for in the ColdFusion
version, so say something if it is important.
