Your orignal question was:

While I believe your question was answered at least once, let me see if I
can give you what you're really looking for (which is kinda difficult since
I don't really know what you are trying to accomplish).
So let's see what is happening:
location = find(input[1],names[2])
OK, you are trying to find the first character of your input in names[2]
since names ={"bob","them","worms"}, that means that names[2] = "them"
'input' is a sequence which represents the string of characters entered
so say you entered "them", so
input = { 't', 'h', 'e', 'm', 10 } -- the 10 is from the enter key
it follows that
input[1] = 't'
now lets fill in the blanks:
location = find( 't', "them" )
so location = 1
So my question is: What are you trying to accomplish? Because what I've
explained here gives you the result for the variable 'location' regardless
of what 'curname' is.
The more specific you can be, the more likely we can provide the answer you
are looking for.
