<h3><a name="Asterisk11Function_FIELDNUM-Synopsis"></a>Synopsis</h3>

<p>Return the 1-based offset of a field in a list</p>
<h3><a name="Asterisk11Function_FIELDNUM-Description"></a>Description</h3>



<p>Search the variable named <em>varname</em> for the string <em>value</em> delimited by <em>delim</em> and return a 1-based offset as to its location. If not found or an error occured, return <tt>0</tt>.</p>

<p>The delimiter may be specified as a special or extended ASCII character, by encoding it. The characters <tt>\n</tt>, <tt>\r</tt>, and <tt>\t</tt> are all recognized as the newline, carriage return, and tab characters, respectively. Also, octal and hexadecimal specifications are recognized by the patterns <tt>\0nnn</tt> and <tt>\xHH</tt>, respectively. For example, if you wanted to encode a comma as the delimiter, you could use either <tt>\054</tt> or <tt>\x2C</tt>.</p>

<p>Example: If ${example} contains <tt>ex-amp-le</tt>, then ${FIELDNUM(example,-,amp)} returns 2.</p>
