Heres a silly question but the wiki doesnt define what "patterns" are allowed if any.
integer llSubStringIndex(string source, string pattern) http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llSubStringIndex Can the "pattern" include wildcards? i.e. llSubStringIndex(source, "Joe says * you!"  or would you have to run the function twice? i.e. if ((llSubStringIndex(source, "Joe says" > 0) and (llSubStringIndex(source, "you!" > 0))?? Thanks, Buck |

It does not support wildcards.

The pattern can't include wildcards. And I don't think there is any wildcards for string. If you want it to do something when there is the pattern which you're thinking like in the string, you can run the function twice. But note, your example can't be told the difference between source = "Joe says that to you!" and source = "Hey you!, Joe says that." And it is possible that it returns 0, so you should use "!= -1", not "> 0".
