I am trying to see if %Text1% is included in %Text 2% but I am not getting anywhere.  
  
Trying the simplistic %Text1% \< %Text 2% does not work.  
Trying to write IsIncluded = (pos(Text1, Text2) \> 0) does not either.  
  
Any suggestions ?  
  
Best regards,

Hi Olivier,  
  
You can use the ‘Text Find’ action to search in %Test 2% for any strings matching %Test1%.

Olivier,  
  
As an alternative to Text Find, if you are working in a script event then you should be able to either use VBScript expression (InStr(Text2, Text1) \> 0), similar to the one you wrote above or the JScript expression (Text2.indexOf(Text1) \> -1), depending on which script language you are using.
