[RESOLVED] Instr Question

[devGOD]

I'm trying look in the HTML to see if "_oldsettt_r" is present... I'm not sure why but it's not working. is my Instr code wrong?

HTML2 = Inet.OpenURL(sURL & sID)
 
Do
    DoEvents
Loop Until Inet.StillExecuting = False
 
Debug.Print HTML2 ' html code is there and "_oldsettt_r" is present
 
If InStr(HTML2, "_oldsettt_r") = True Then
....

InStr returns integer but also first argument is the start posion:

If InStr(1, HTML2, "_oldsettt_r") > 0 Then
        '...
    End If

[Merri]

InStr returns -1 (= True) only on error condition, such as search keyword being a null string.

[RhinoBull]

InStr doesn't return -1:

Return Values

If InStr returns
string1 is zero-length 0
string1 is Null Null
string2 is zero-length start
string2 is Null Null
string2 is not found 0
string2 is found within string1 Position at which match is found
start > string2 0
