Retrieves the position of a sub-string in a string.
in = 'abcdef', pattern = 'cd' → out = 2
in = 'abcabc', pattern = 'bc' → out = [1, 4] (two occurrences)
in = 'abcdef', pattern = 'xy' → out = -1 (not found)Input string(s).
Position of the sub-string, starting at the index 0. Returns -1 if the sub-string is not found. Can return an array of positions if the sub-string appears several times.
Sub-string or regular expression to find. If the pattern looks like a regular expression it is automatically treated as one, otherwise it is matched as a plain string.

Free multi-line text attached to the module, saved with the patch. It is only meant as an internal note for the patch designer: it is not displayed in the interface.
visible only in god mode, see setup-panel-tab-expert.
Read-only, not saved. Current private numeric ID of the object, used internally to identify it (for example as the target of a bind ID).
Read-only, not saved. Private ID used to store and recall the values of this control in presets.
Button. Generates a new unique ID, original ID and preset ID for the object. Use it if you experience difficulties in Polyphonic mode or if two objects share the same ID. Preset values and binds referring to the old IDs are lost.
Read-only, not saved. Absolute address of the object in the Usine objects tree, built from the workspace root. This is the address to use to reach the object from scripts, the objects panel or remote messages. Only shown for objects that are registered in the objects list. See objects-address.
Read-only, not saved. Address of the object relative to the current patch, valid inside that patch only. See objects-address.
Free user-defined address for the object (empty by default). When set, the object is also registered in the objects tree under this name, so it can be reached independently of its position in the workspace (the value is also reported in the mouse-over and mouse-down chunks). Changing it rebuilds the objects list. Only available on objects that support a user address. See objects-address.
