In the below example total 6 words are present.
I know the word ex: countries but i don't know at which position this word is present in a entire observation.
I have to find position of the selective word in a complete sentence.
data ds;
remark="most populated countries in the world";
run;
Passing word - "countries"
required output- 3
because countries word occurred at 3 position
I have tried with findw, indexw, but unable to get required output because charterer by character results.
Hello,
You can use the findw function as follows :
pos=findw(remark, "countries",' ','e');
