Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed in which a process receives, via a graphical user interface (GUI) of a spreadsheet application, a function call. The function call includes a source string attribute identifying a string and a search string attribute identifying a substring to be identified in the string. The process performs a function associated with the function call by searching for the substring in the string and subsequently returning a subset of the string proximate to a location of the substring in the string.
