Instr

Hi Guys,

I am using a few scripts at the moment that use Instr to determine if there is a phrase in the string, and then to do something with that string, so e.g. If the String contains X and Y then do Z

I am sure it is simple, but how can i do an instr where only one condition exists, e.g. the string contains X but not Y, then does Z.

This is an example of one of my current script sections:

If Instr(1,data,"ALERT",1) > 0 and Instr(1,data,"[BEUP]",1) > 0 then
'do stuff
End If

How can I set it so that in this example, if the string contains [BEUP] but not ALERT then to 'do stuff

Ideally id like to be able to have three conditions eventually,

String contains both X + Y
String Contains Only X
String Contains Neither X or Y

Thanks

This is an example of one of my current script sections:

If Instr(1,data,"ALERT",1) > 0 and Instr(1,data,"[BEUP]",1) > 0 then
'do stuff
End If

So this will execute 'stuff' if both strings are contained within data.

How can I set it so that in this example, if the string contains [BEUP] but not ALERT then to 'do stuff

If Instr(1,data,"ALERT",1) = 0 and Instr(1,data,"[BEUP]",1) > 0 then
'do stuff
End If

Instr returns 0 when string2 is not found within string1, so this example would execute if [BEUP] was found but not ALERT.

String Contains Neither X or Y is simply:
If Instr(1,data,"ALERT",1) = 0 and Instr(1,data,"[BEUP]",1) = 0 then
