String Searching in Scratch

Contributed by Phil Curnow, November 16, 2013

Another addition to the custom string blocks I have written. I had a request to add a block to allow searching a string for another string, so I have added this new block.

My custom string blocks have proved very popular with th Scratch community. I had a request for a block that allows a string to be search for another string (a sub string). I have now added this block to the original project and have also written a blog post on how the block works. The project can be found at http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/12402145/ and my blog post can be found at http://philcurnow.wordpress.com/2013/11/16/string-search-in-scratch/ -- I hope you find it useful.
