This script command attempts to locate a substring with a specified master string and branches to [ label ] if it is found.

Use the alternate IFSUBSTRI command to perform the same comparison but to ignore case during the comparison.

Consider the following simple example that results in a branch to the specified label.

SET master_string = "abcdefg"

SET substring = "cde"

IFSUBSTR master_string substring goto substring_found
