Ok try

global function my_find(sequence a,sequence b)
  integer an
   a=trim(lower(a))
    b=trim(lower(b))
    an=find(a,b)
    return an
end function

global function my_match(sequence a,sequence b) integer an maches 2 squences of anny length a=trim(lower(a)) b=trim(lower(b)) an=match(a,b) return an end function
