What this code is doing here?

Hi team,

Just a quick question what this code actually doing 

If Index( Name, 'maruti') > 0 then delete ;

As per my understanding this code is looking if there is any gap or word before maruti then record should get deleted.Please confirm my understanding  if that's the case are we not removing the actual data ?

Thanks

The code deletes observations where Name contains the substring 'maruti'.

No, it's looking for the exact value of maruti and deleting it if its found. You can look up INDEX() in the functions list and find the exact definition.
