I am working on an APICA script, for which I need to use a ‘Contains’ type realtional operator.
Example:
If (String1.contains(String2)) Then
Do This
Else
Do This.
I have gone through the “Prx BASIC” Language manual, and could not find any operator that can be used for the above example.
Is there a way to handle the above scenario using a different operator.
Solved using Expected = “document.getElementById(‘dataForm:locationempty’)”
PRINT Expected
a= strIndexOf(TaskQuantityResponse,Expected)
print a
if(a>0) THEN
LcnEmptyLoop= 1
print LcnEmptyLoop
else
LcnEmptyLoop= 0
print LcnEmptyLoop
Hello @abhattacharyya, glad to see you found a solution and posted it here 
An alternative way to do conditional paths in a test is to make use of inner loops,
Depending on your endgame this might also be of assistance
@daniel Thanks for the reply. You have made a habit out of helping me out, and thanks for that.
I actually needed the extracted value to be used as condition for my inner loop (I am actually seeing if a specific value exists in a page html, if the value exists, I extract it in a variable, and if it does not, I extract a different value in a second variable)
Hey @abhattacharyya !
There is actually a function in PrxBasic that works like what you are describing: strContains.
It checks whether the exact String2 appears in the current String1 or not. You can use it like this:
If (strContains(String1,String2)) Then
Do This
Else
Do This.
Happy Scripting! 
Thanks @Calle , that is a much simpler, and elegant solution, instead of having to use index values.
Can you point me to some documentation of this, as I could not find it in the PrxBasic documentation in APICA Academy.
Hello
You can find these commands by pressing CTRL + SPACEBAR while you’re writing your code. You will get a list of available commands to choose from, with a short description on how to use it. If you require more specific information it is hopefully described in the PrxBasicLanguageReferenceManualEn manual, located in the Documentation folder inside your ZebraTester installation.
