Description christianjunker 2005-05-15 16:35:00 UTC 
The StarOffice 7 Programmer's Guide - which is the only official guide for the
SO/OOo Scripting language - has a mistake on page 59
(http://docs-pdf.sun.com/817-1826/817-1826.pdf).
There it says:
"""
ResultString = InStr (SearchString, MyString)
The SearchString parameter specifies the string to be searched for within
MyString.
"""

This is wrong. The first parameter of InStr is the string to be searched in, not
the second. So the corrected text would be:
"""
ResultString = InStr (MyString, SearchString)
The SearchString parameter specifies the string to be searched for within
MyString.
"""

reassigning to jsc.
jsc: Should issues regarding StarOffice Programmer's Guide live in OOo IZ or is there a more appropriate 
place for them? 
There are some 1-2 other issues concerning the SO Programmer's Guide here, what do you think about 
creating a task issue named "SO Programmer's Guide"?

JSc -YJ: This is probably one for you but i am not 100% sure if you maintain the
basic guide

Comment 7 frank.thomas.peters 2007-10-02 09:46:43 UTC 
The BASIC Guide is now available as open source under PDL on the OOo wiki:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide
