Error message examples

 Bad value passed to the «return» parameter of FindInText: "a".
 When specified, it must be 'P', 'L', 'S', or '#'.

Cause

The «return» parameter to the FindInText function, while searching for regular expression, can be specified to one of the following values to specify the return type:

P or Position = Position of the matched subpattern.

L or Length = Length of the matched subpattern.

S or Subpattern = Matched subpattern.

# or #Subpattern = Number of matched subpattern.

You can also get back an array of a subset of above return types. The following is an example taken from the Analytica User Guide:

FindInText('d.*T', 'FindInText', re: 1, return: ['L', 'S']) → [4, 'dInT']

Remedies

Correct the «return» parameter to the FindInText function to a recognized value.
